Gunners boss weighing up bid for Real defender
12:54pm Friday 9th May 2008
MEDIA reports suggest Arsene Wenger is considering rivalling Chelsea for the signature of Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos.
With the words of chairman Peter Hill-Wood ringing in his ears, Wenger may be tempted to join the race for the talented centre-half (pictured) after admitting he was desperate to land a "powerful centre-back" to shore up his leaky defence.
Hill-Wood said he would back Wenger with any potential signing, insisting the club "have never denied Wenger a penny".
Howver, it would take a bid of around £25million to land Ramos, and it remains to be seen whether Wenger would be willing to break the bank for the young Spaniard.
