Arsenal trainer Arsene Wenger has offered Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Francis Jeffers to Leeds in a  bid to capture their striker, Harry Kewell.  Wenger's earlier offer of a swap for Ray Parlour plus €6.6 million Euros was turned down by Leeds and now Wenger is hoping to secure Kewell by offering a wider choice. 
Van Bronckhorst - who cost Arsenal €12 million Euros from Rangers two years ago, has never been able to secure a first team place with Arsenal and it would seem somewhat doubtful if Leeds manager Reid would keen on an Arsenal failure.
