Wenger: Id take Hleb to court

Arsene Wenger has said he would never let Alexander Hleb leave the club easily as the midfielder seems destined for a summer exit from Arsenal. Inter Milan have been linked with the player for over 3 months.

Now Wenger has insisted that the player; who could leave under the Webster clause once they have served three years at a club; will find it difficult to be able to leave the Gunners.

"It is not as simple as it looks, this Webster clause, you can't just come in next day and buy out, there is no rule that says that. And you should not forget what clubs can do," said Wenger.

"You have to first go to a FIFA tribunal and if you don't agree with FIFA, you have to go to ACAS. It takes a lot of months. You can be banned for the whole period if it's not done in a proper way."
