Arsenal linked with shock £10million Anfield raid
Arsenal Football Club have been linked with a shock bid for Ryan Babel.
Arsene Wenger was keen on the Dutch international whilst he was still at Ajax, but the Gunners boss was beaten to his signature by Liverpool who forked out £10million.
Babel has failed to nail down a regular starting role with the Merseyside club in the two seasons he has been in England, and admits this is leaving him frustrated.
"With this substitutes role, I am not happy," Babel told Sportweek. "I have had three good interviews this season with coach Rafa Benítez.
“He has stated that I needed to improve my defensive game in order to be considered. My feeling is that I'm strong in this area, but still I get no real chance. This unfortunately hurts."
Reports in Holland claim that Wenger is considering renewing his interest in Babel at the end of the season, as he looks to add another quality youngster to his Emirates Stadium ranks.
