FA to quiz Gunners over Beveren links

THE FA are to contact Arsenal after receiving a letter from FIFA requesting they investigate the relationship between the Champions League finalists and Beveren.

A FIFA spokesman confirmed yesterday a letter had been sent instructing the FA to examine ties between the clubs in response to allegations that Arsenal made irregular payments to the Belgian outfit.

An FA spokesman said: Last week’s Newsnight programme related how police uncovered an investment into Beveren of £1m from an anonymous donor which they subsequently concluded had been provided by Arsenal.
