Wenger is in desperate need of some cover in the centre of his defence after losing both his first-choice centre backs, Thomas Vermaelen and Sebastien Squillaci, to injury and now that Woodgate has finally returned to action following a longstanding groin problem, the Frenchman is seriously considering whether to make a move for his services.
Woodgate played in a behind-closed-doors friendly for Tottenham against Queens Park Rangers last week, which he came through unscathed, although his manager at White Hart Lane, Harry Redknapp, is said to be only interested in letting the player go out on loan until the end of the season to regain his fitness, with both QPR and Leeds United reported to be interested in the player.
Wenger, however, is now said to be lining up a £10 million offer in what would be one of the most extraordinary transfers of this, or any season.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed that there is no chance of Jonathan Woodgate joining rivals Arsenal this month.

Gunners chief Arsene Wenger is known to be looking at potential central defensive recruits and was reportedly considering a move for Woodgate, who has recently returned to full training.

The former Leeds and Middlesbrough defender has been limited to just three league games since the start of last season.

Asked about a potential deal with Arsenal, Redknapp confirmed: "No, not a chance. We wouldn't let him go there."

"We want to keep him," said Redknapp - admitting that Spurs would look at giving Woodgate a new deal, with his current contract due to expire in the summer, if he could prove his fitness.

"He's out of contract in the summer so if we let him out on loan, then we're not giving him away unless he signs a new deal before he goes.

"And you couldn't do that right now in case he breaks down. He needs to stay here and see how it goes and if he's okay, we can sit down at the end of the season and give him a deal for next year.

"But it would have to be heavily loaded as a pay-as-you-play deal.

"I love Jonathan but you can't keep paying wages to a boy who doesn't play all year.

"Jonathan's been out of the team for two years but played 45 minutes against a QPR team Neil Warnock sent although I think they were waiters from the Shepherd's Bush area.

"It wasn't a great test but Jonathan's doing well. He's coming back and when he's fit, he's a top, top centre-half."
