ARSENAL have launched a stunning £23million raid for Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina.Arsene Wenger sees the Kop star as the man to solve his problem position.
And the Gunners boss is prepared to go up to £25m to land the Spaniard.
But Wenger knows he faces a massive battle to lure one of Liverpool's prize assets away from Anfield. He had been eyeing Fulham's Mark Schwarzer but the chance of getting Reina, 27, is far more mouth-watering.
Reina, a £6million buy from Villarreal five years ago, signed a new six-year deal at Liverpool in April.
He missed Thursday's Europa League win over Rabotnicki after only returning to training on Monday - together with the rest of the club's Spanish and Dutch World Cup stars.
Wenger is desperate to sign a top keeper after both Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski copped a stream of criticism for a series of clangers over the past 12 months.
But Liverpool insist they do not want - or need - to sell any of their big stars.
And the prospect of new ownership bringing a huge cash injection to Anfield leaves Wenger with a major fight on his hands.

if reina is to leave us, i only see him leaving back to barcelona, back then there was some talk that he could take over valdez's place but nothing was solid though. anyways, more serious matters, glad to see pacheco's intention to fight for some chance, the game against rabotnicki was an easy one if anything and at times the young man seems nervous. he's probably weary from his outing in the recent u-19 tourney.
