Arsenal line up €8.9m Adebayor replacement?
With Emmanuel Adebayor seemingly set for a £24m move to Chelsea, it appears Arsenal have already identified a cut-price replacement: Real Betis striker Ricardo Oliveira.
The 6 foot Brazil international cost Betis €8.9m in January, when he put pen to paper on a three and a half year deal after signing from Real Zaragosa.
The future looked bright at Betis until they were relegated to the Segunda División on the final day of the Liga season.
Now Betis owner Manuel Ruiz de Lopera will be forced to sell his best players and the 29-year-old Oliveira looks set to join Arsenal if a transfer fee can be agreed.
