Luis-Gustavo-DiasArsene Wenger is attempting to tie up a £14 million deal for Bayern Munich Luiz Gustavo after the Frenchman admitted the club need to start splashing the cash this summer.

Arsenal have been linked with a number of midfielders already this summer, with Marouane Fellaini being the most recognisable. However, Gustavo now appears to be on top of Wenger’s list of potential midfield recruits.

Reports in Brazil suggested The Gunners had already agreed a deal for the 26-year-old, but Wenger dismissed these rumours by saying ‘there is nothing concrete yet’.

Although he wouldn’t be my first-choice of midfielders to bring in – I would pay Everton what they want for Fellaini – Gustavo would still be a very good addition to the squad. And for £14 million it would be seen as a good piece of business by Wenger and the board.

If we manage to acquire the Brazilian and sign Luis Suarez, I will be more confident of our club winning silverware this season.

    You’re damn right, this guy is proven, Fellaini is good but I would be more afraid of Gustavo

    Scenario:Your with the ball dribbling
    Gustavo will catch you, take you out with a clean tackle and leave you on the floor. And then play a 40m killer ball up-field

    Fellaini will put in a standing tackle and pass it off.

    No doubt they’re both great players but Gustavo is better in my opinion, I would be more afraid of Gustavo

    Liverpool would never sell a tea lady to any club who is a rival never mind louis ! I do you believe in father Christmas as well !if he goes and it’s a big if it,ll be abroad.when everybody calms down Louis will realize how well off he is! And he,s pissing against the wind!. And maybe Liverpool sticking to there guns and players will eventually realize signing four year contracts means something!
