Congo striker Tresor Mputu's agent claims that Arsenal have made a concrete offer for the 21
year-old TP Mazembe star.
Mputu, who has scored 34 goals in 30 league games for his team, was in London on a 10 day trial
which Arsene Wenger and Bajo Bujani, the player's agent, both considered to be successful.
Only two days after defeating Chelsea in the Premier League Arsenal travel to Ewood Park to face
Blackburn in the Carling Cup quarterfinals.
The team is likely to be hugely different from the near-full-strength squad that beat the blues to
keep Arsenal on top of the Premier League, as Arsene Wenger always tries to field his kids during
cup ties.
Arsene Wenger will continue to blood his youngsters in the Carling Cup, even against the tough
opposition of Blackburn. The Arsenal coach feels that playing a young squad will not only increase
the experience of Arsenal's fringe players, but also allow the Gunners' senior squad a chance to
rest during period congested with fixtures.
Arsenal travel to St. James' Park this Wednesday as they finally play their game in hand against
Newcastle United. Depending on Manchester United's result tomorrow, a win at Newcastle could see
Arsenal go as many as eight points clear of their nearest competition.
A Gunners win could also see Sam Allardyce fired from his new club.
Arsenal defeated Steaua Bucharest 2-1 at the Emirates, returning to their winning ways before a
tough fixture against Chelsea on Sunday.
The victory, which saw the return from injury of Robin van Persie, was not enough to put the
Gunners at the top of their group, meaning that they will have to face Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC
Milan, Inter Milan, or Porto in the knockout stages.
Arsenal completed the double over arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur as they escaped from a nervy
encounter with three points. The Gunners, who were heavy favorites to win the match despite
Tottenham's recent resurgence, went a goal up just after halftime when Emmanuel Adebayor scored his
tenth league goal of the season, but Dimitar Berbatov levelled in the 66th.
