Wenger's heart set on Seba Tuesday 9 September, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports in Italy state that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has urged the Gunners to launch an audacious bid for Juventus starlet Sebastian Giovinco.
Diminutive playmaker Giovinco is one of the most exciting talents in European football and is set to receive a chance to shine at Juventus this term.
The Azzurrini ace is currently negotiating a new deal with the Old Lady, but there are rumours that Juve are refusing to meet his wage demands.
Giovinco was also frustrated at being left on the bench for the Bianconeri's season opener against Fiorentina.
“He needs to play regularly, there's no doubt about that,” agent Andrea D'Amico told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“The new contract isn't just about figures but about certainty for the future. Giovinco is young but he is desperate to play as many matches as possible.”
And Wenger allegedly wants to pounce when the transfer window reopens at the start of 2009.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the French tactician is demanding the funds are made available to table a vast bid.
However, Juve would be very reluctant to sell a man who is seen as the possible heir to Alessandro Del Piero's throne in Turin.
