Arsenal to bid for Aston Villa winger, for fear of losing Nasri

Arsenal are ready to make a shocking £20million move for Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing.

The Gunners Manager, Arsene Wenger seems resigned to losing star midfielder Samir Nasri and plans to waste no time bringing in a big-name replacement.

Downing, 26, may not be the first choice among many Arsenal fans but Wenger is determined to sign a proven Premier League player who will fit straight into his starting line-up.

Wenger is desperate to end a six-year spell without a trophy and looks to be going against his policy of bringing through the best young talent.
