Arsenal Set For Mate Toth Capture
As Man City line up a £107 million bid for Kaka, Wenger again takes a more thrifty approach, with Hugarian unknown Mate Toth the next player on his list...
Arsenal are set to beat Tottenham Hotspur to the signing of Hungarian defender Mate Toth as the race for the 18-year-old hots up between the North London rivals.
The Hungarian youngster has been training with the Arsenal youth squad, as well as participating in a few first team sessions, and has seemed to have made an impression on Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.
The 18-year-old starlet has already played for Kerulet, Ferencvaros, Ujpest and Empoli in his short career and looks set to complete a move to the Emirates for a fee of around £250,000.
The Gunners are in pole position to sign the player after it was thought their North London rivals Tottenham were interested in acquiring the 18-year-old's services.
During his time on trial in North London with Arsenal, his agent Sandor Varga spoke to the Hungarian press and said that there was a distinct possibility that Toth could move to the Premier League side.
Speaking to Kisafold, Varga said, "Of course, it's not easy to get a contract in the professional contract but the young player is ahead of an enormous possibility."
Arsenal are also on the trail of Russian star Andrei Arshavin, and are set to tie up a £15 million deal for the 27-year-old in the few days. |
