Arsene Wenger is on course to inflict a double whammy on Rafa Benitez in the transfer market this summer.

Pipped to post? Wenger could join Benitez in race to sign Alves

 

Liverpool boss Benitez may have cash at his disposal from the club's new American owners, but it might not be enough to prise Sevilla star Daniel Alves.

 

The Shun's 'WENGER IN PLOT TO NAB £12M ALVES' tells of how Arsenal are ready to "hijack" Liverpool's move for the Brazilian wing-back.

 

Benitez had initially been put off by his price tag, but even now, with money to burn in his pocket, he might not get his man.

 

According to the story, "Spanish sources claim Alves, 23, would prefer London to Liverpool".

 

Alves could be joined by Valencia defender Yago Fernandez at a cut-price £100,000 if the Daily Mirror's 'WENGER BEATS RAFA TO LAND VALENCIA KID' is on the money.

 

The story claims that "the Portugal Under-19 centre-half has agreed a pre-contract deal with Arsenal and will sign a five-year contract in July".

 

Benitez had been linked with a move for the 19-year-old from his old club, but Fernandez said: "This is the biggest opportunity of my life because I know Wenger works with young players and I will have more chances at Arsenal than Spain."

Not sure this story seems believable, but thought I would share it with you
