The Guardian quickly posited that Wenger, might be tempted to lure Real Madrid's centre back Metzelder, to the Emirates instead of bidding for Fulham's Brede Hangeland who is valued at £10m.
Recently there have been numerous reports linking the 29-year-old defender, whose contract with Real Madrid expires this summer, to Panathinaikos, and Wolfsburg.
But the latter's general manager Dieter Hoeness, is upset by the stories: "This is just rubbish, there is nothing true in these rumours," Hoeness said.
"I am asking myself how certain news can be edited..." he added.
Well, I don't like the idea of gunning for old players (29), but I sincerely hope we can shake off competition for the veteran's signature, whose arrival might signal the end of Sylvestre's error-prone career at Arsenal.
