Juventus ace Trezeguet wants Arsenal move

"Why not? I have a perfect understanding with Henry.
"Sometimes when we talk, we would love to play together in club football. I'm sure it will happen one day."
Arsenal boss Wenger has mega £40M to spend
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will have a massive transfer kitty for the summer market.
The Evening Standard says Wenger's kitty this summer will be around £40m and the club will make more available as they move into the new stadium next year.
Gunners director Danny Fiszman insists the lack of spending in the last two years wasn't down to the club's new Emirates stadium.
He said: "We never were in a position where we have not done that much in the transfer market because all the money was going towards the move.
"On the contrary, we have had a lot of successful property deals around the stadium project which have helped the club's balance sheet. We had a budget available to the manager, but he is not a spender for the sake of it."
Fiszman added: "Our ambition was to build the best club stadium and have the finest team playing in it. We think we can deliver that."
