Arsenal Planning Improved Bid For Reina

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina
is a shock January target for
Arsenal.
The News of the World says the
Anfield club rejected a cheeky
£15m bid from the Gunners
during the summer.
But after a howler by cock-up
keeper Manuel Almunia gifted
West Brom a 3-2 win at the
Emirates, Arsenal are considering
a new bid in the January transfer
window to solve their long-
standing goalkeeper problem.
Reina, 28, was the keenest of all
Liverpool's stars to quit Anfield
after a season of turmoil on and
off the pitch.
But the club regarded Arsenal's
bid as far too low.
Now Liverpool, humbled by
League Two Northampton in the
Carling Cup last week, are facing
another lurch towards financial
disaster.
The deadline for Hicks and Gillett
to renegotiate their £282.4m
bank loan is due to expire next
month.
And unless something dramatic
happens in the coming weeks,
Liverpool will be in a much
weaker position to resist bids for
their star names.
