Arsenal 'pondering Dimitar Berbatov bid'

Arsenal are allegedly considering lodging a bid for Fulham striker Dimitar Berbatov.

The Gunners could land the Bulgarian forward at a cut price since his contract at Craven Cottage is due to expire in six months, The Sun reports.

Nicklas Bentdner picked up an injury during Arsenal's 2-0 win over Cardiff City on New Year's Day, leaving the club with just one out-and-out striker in Olivier Giroud.

Previous reports have suggested that Berbatov could be keen to leave Fulham, who signed him from Manchester United in 2012.
