ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger could be set to swoop for former Spurs target Juan Arango following a recommendation from midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

According to a report in The People, the Gunners have already sent scouts to watch the Real Mallorca winger, who is believed to be a favourite of Fabregas.

The 27-year-old, who was attracting the interests of Arsenal's bitter rivals Spurs in 2006 is likely to cost in the region of £14million.

Wenger could face competition though from Champions League opponents Liverpool, who were thought to be showing interest during the January transfer window.
