ARSENAL face a battle with Manchester United over Fiorentina keeper Sebastien Frey.
A replacement for under-fire number one Manuel Almunia will be a top priority - but Wenger could find himselfin a bidding war with Sir Alex Ferguson for Frenchman Frey, 30. The £8million-rated keeper - who Wenger tried to buy in 2006 - is also a target for United boss Fergie as he looks for Edwin van der Sar's successor.
Although Wenger will not agree publically that his priorities are a top class keeper, centre half and centre forward those are the positions he knows must be strengthened if Arsenal are to move up a level next season.
Despite defending current No1 Manuel Almunia, Wenger realises the Spaniard is not of the required standard for a top-four side and knows he needs a top-class keeper if the Gunners plan to challenge for honours next season.
