Wenger set for a battle with Palace as he attempts to snap up youngster Moses

manager Arsene Wenger will face a fight from Crystal Palace as he tries to lure their teenage striking sensation Victor Moses to the Emirates.

The Gunners boss is believed to be preparing a bid of around £1million for the 17-year-old, who made 14 appearances in his debut season for the Eagles, scoring three goals.

Prince of Palace: Victor Moses is a target for a number of Premier League clubs.

However, according to The Sun, Palace chairman Simon Jordan will demand at least £3million for the Nigerian-born youngster, who has also been linked with a move to Chelsea in recent months.

Jordan is still livid after a transfer tribunal recently ruled that Tottenham would have to pay just £700,000 for promising 16-year-old midfielder John Bostock.
