Arsenal move for Liverpool’s Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso is still a possibility. Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez confirmed that the transfer window for Alonso is still open. It might prompt Arsene Wenger to go for a £16million deal with Liverpool to bring Alonso at Emirates stadium.
The midfielder has been linked with a possible mover to Gunners all through the summer. However, Arsenal’s offer did not match the amount Liverpool valued at for Xabi Alonso. At one point, it was assumed that the midfielder would remain at Anfield for at least another season. Now, Arsene Wenger might feel the necessity to sign the midfielder in order to come to terms with his Summer sales: Mathieu Flamini, Gilberto Silva and Alexandre Hleb.
Well, I do not know whether Liverpool will cut short their demand or Arsenal will increase their proposed amount to bring this deal into existence, but what I know for sure is that it will increase Arsenal’s strength if they could sing a quality midfielder like Xabi Alonso, after losing some quality midfielders during the Summer transfer window.
