ARSENAL TALK: Gunners in hunt for midfield prodigy
11:42am Saturday 11th October 2008
ARSENAL have reportedly joined the chase for Standard Liege midfielder Steven Defour.
Belgian sources claim that the 20-year-old has caught Arsene Wenger's eye, although long-term admirers Ajax and Middlesbrough are also known to be keen.
The Standard skipper first came to prominence during his time with RC Genk, but has since established himself as a key member of the Liege set-up.
Despite his tender years, Defour has already made 16 appearances for Belgium, scoring one goal.
