Wenger Woes
Arsenal gaffer Arsene Wenger must have been chuffed to bits to see Cesc Fabregas' performance for Spain against Russia the other night. Then again, perhaps he wasn't. For you can bet Fabregas will now be on the wanted list of some of Europe's biggest clubs – if he wasn't there already, that is.
Fabregas's clever passing destroyed Russia in the semi-final, and that won't have gone unseen by the rest of Europe. For most of this summer, Arsenal have been battling to hold on to their best players. The Gunners have already lost Mathieu Flamini to AC Milan, Alexander Hleb has been tipped to join Barcelona, and both those clubs have also been linked with Emmanuel Adebayor.
"Many clubs do not work as well as we do," Wenger said. "After we beat Milan in the Champions League other teams and agents started to look at our players. They looked at the quality of the team display in that game and it attracted a lot of keen clubs."
It wouldn't be a surprise to see some major interest in Fabregas, given the way he's played at Euro 2008. So, while Wenger will naturally hope his young midfielder enjoys the perfect end to the tournament, he'll also be keeping his fingers crossed that his phone doesn't start ringing immediately afterwards with big money offers.
