Arsene Wenger Want Wayne Rooney

Arsene Wenger has hinted he could make a sensational summer swoop for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

The  striker is unsettled at Old Trafford and handed in a transfer request last month. Rooney, 27, will thrash out his future with new boss David Moyes in the coming weeks.

But Wenger is ready to pounce and could battle Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich for the England forward should he be put up for sale. The Arsenal manager, who has been handed a £100million warchest, admitted: “Rooney could be an interesting player for everybody in the world, who would turn him down?

“David Moyes’ first challenge is to go in to Manchester and bridge the gap between him and Rooney. “If that is feasible or not depends on his personality. we will see. “It will be interesting to see how that will be handled.”

Wenger is also keen on bringing former captain Cesc Fabregas back to the Emirates. And he reckons the Spaniard is unsettled at Barcelona and could move on this transfer window.

Wenger added: “I think at the moment he’s lacking the confidence of being a regular player. Recently he has not been that.

“Cesc is such a passionate player, a player of such quality, that it must hurt him not to play in every single game. “That’s what he misses. When you come in and out you never play with full confidence.”
