Arsenal are in negotiations with Stuttgart about signing the Belarus winger Alexander Hleb. Arsène Wenger wants to strengthen the right side of his midfield and has made the 24-year-old his principal target.
The clubs are not far apart in their valuation of Hleb, who is keen to move to Highbury. But the situation is complicated by Stuttgart's search for a coach to replace Matthias Sammer, who left last week; they have to decide whether to give his successor a say in Hleb's future. Hleb, who joined the German club in 2000, has three years left on his contract.
Freddie Ljungberg was Arsenal's only naturally right-sided player last season after the departure of Sylvain Wiltord. Hleb is expected to command a fee of about £8m.
