It’s ’appy days for Wenger
WANTED ... Adrian Mariappa

ARSENE WENGER is ready to make a shock bid for Watford's Adrian Mariappa.

Despite initially insisting he would not make any transfer window signings, Arsenal's boss is now ready to reinforce his inconsistent defence.

Newcastle have been haggling over a price for 25-year-old Mariappa, who can play either at right-back or centre-back.

Toon chief Alan Pardew has offered £1.5million so far.

While Watford are demanding £4million, they will accept just over £2m.

Wenger had Mariappa watched in Watford's home FA Cup defeat by Tottenham last Friday.

He has decided to act after becoming increasingly concerned by the inconsistent performances of some of his defenders — Johan Djourou in particular.

Mariappa would be seen only as a squad player but he would create more competition.
