Arsenal and Manchester City are battling for Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill.
The London Evening Standard says Arsenal are set for a £17million battle with Manchester City for Cahill after losing out to Manchester United in the race to sign Phil Jones from Blackburn.
Cahill is still top of Wenger's wish-list and a club source claimed today that his valuation is "not impossible".
Wenger is searching for a commanding centre-back and believes Cahill fits the bill perfectly but he was reluctant to agree to Bolton's valuation in January and considered a deal for Blackburn's Christopher Samba instead.
Arsenal face competition for Cahill's signature from City, who can offer a superior wage packet, while a move to Eastlands would enable Cahill to remain at home in the north-west.
