Wenger close to Bap grab
By DAVE KIDD
ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger is closing in on the £18million signing of Julio Baptista from Seville.
The Brazilian midfielder’s club president Jose Maria Del Nido admitted:“As yet, nothing has been agreed between the two clubs but I can reveal that Arsenal are now willing to offer something close to the amount that we could accept.
“They have now offered more than double the £8.3m they began the bidding with and will exceed £17m — but the agreement must suit all three parties.”
Baptista, 23, qualifies for a Spanish passport next week and will wait until then before sealing a move to Highbury.Baptista, 23, qualifies for a Spanish passport next week and will wait until then before sealing a move to Highbury.
