Dein keen on bringing ‘The Beast’ to Highbury

ARSENAL vice-chairman David Dein has been holding talks in Seville about a possible move for Brazilian forward Julio Baptista as the Gunners look to strengthen their strike force.

However, although Dein also stopped off at the Nou Camp to speak to Barcelona president Joan Laporta, the future of Thierry Henry was not on the agenda for serious discussion.

Arsene Wenger has revealed his intention to make two "world-class" signings this summer and Arsenal have already agreed terms on a deal that could be worth up to £10million for midfielder Alexander Hleb.
