Southampton are set to spark a massive bidding war for teenage fullback Gareth Bale.
Bale, 17, has been watched by Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool this season.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is also a fan of the Welsh starlet.
Saints boss George Burley has been told he will have to sell in January to raise funds for new signings after splashing out 7m in the summer.
Chairman Michael Wilde said: "Bringing in anyone new might depend on off-loading players."
