Arsenal have tabled a £3 million bid for the Valencia midfielder Miguel Angel Angulo according to sources close to the Spanish club. Valencia are reported to have received a formal offer by fax on Wednesday for the versatile 27-year-old, who can play on the right wing, behind the lead striker or up front.
Angulo is under contract to the Spanish champions until the end of the present season but negotiations to extend his deal ran aground recently and he is believed to have been looking for a way out of the club. The Spanish sports daily Marca claimed Angulo has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal, but that Valencia are holding out for a better offer.
Angulo will travel with the Valencia party to play Porto in the European Super Cup in Monaco today, but the club may decide not to play him in order to prevent him from being cup tied for this season's Champions' League.
Angulo is primarily used as cover for the Argentine playmaker Pablo Aimar or as an alternative to Francisco Rufete on the right wing.
Angulo played 22 league games last season and scored twice, but has dropped down the pecking order following the new coach, Claudio Ranieri's decision to import several Italians; including Stefano Fiore and Bernardo Corradi from Lazio, Marco Di Vaio from Juventus, and the promising young defender Emiliano Moretti from Parma.
