Arsenal chief Dein asks Perez for tour of Real Madrid's Valdebebas

Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has made a personal request to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to hold their pre-match function tomorrow at the club's Valdebebas' facilities.

Valdebebas is regarded as one of the best sporting facilities in the world and Dein is keen to get a closer look at Real's showpiece.

Arsenal are undergoing a major overhaul of their own training and playing facilities as they prepare for their move to the new Emirates stadium next season and Dein will take advantage of their Champions League clash in Madrid to run his eye over the complex.
