“New Henry” snubs Rafa for Wenger
Bordeaux's 19-year-old forward Henri Saivet has reportedly snubbed a contract offer from Liverpool, in favour of joining Arsene Wenger's Arsenal in the summer. Dubbed the “New Henry,”
Saivet has only made a handfull of appearances for Bordeaux this season.
Sport.co.uk exclusively reported earlier this month that Benitez had made contact with Bordeaux regarding signing the youngest player in their history. Saivet has been tracked by Wenger since he was 14, but it looked as though Benitez was the favourite to seal a January deal.
Reports conclude that Saivet will begin talks with Arsene Wenger in the summer, as long as the North London Club can agree a fee with Bordeaux.
The French club were unavailable to comment on the specualtion. To read the first reports of Saivet's future click here.
