Arsenal have tabled a £4 million cash offer for Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. But now they have to wait to see if Cottagers boss Mark Hughes - who was hoping to bring in wantaway Manchester City keeper Shay Given to replace Schwarzer - allows the deal to go through.
But City are reluctant to help their former boss and manager Roberto Mancini would ideally want to keep hold of Republic of Ireland star Given, 34.
Hughes may turn to £2m-rated Reading keeper Adam Federici, 24, if he cannot get Given.
