Arsenal ponder late bid for Wolfsburg midfielder Luiz Gustavo

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is weighing up a late deal for Wolfsburg midfielder Luiz Gustavo. The Mirror says Wenger sent scouts to check on the Wolfsburg midfielder in their Bundesliga opener, a 2-1 defeat away to champions Bayern Munich.

Wolfsburg are keen on Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski - and that could even raise the chance of a player-plus-cash deal.

Arsenal nearly signed 27-year-old Gustavo last summer but the midfielder wanted assurances about playing regularly which Wenger was not prepared to give.
