Arsenal lead chase for Barcelona starlet Thiago Alcantara

|

Arsenal are once again preparing a raid on Barcelona this summer with highly-rated Thiago Alcantara being the subject of interest, according to talkSPORT.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been hailed as one of the best young talents in Spain and has attracted interest from several European clubs including the Gunners and Liverpool.

Arsenal Wenger will be eager to add to his squad for next season’s campaign, and reports in Spain are already hinting that the Frenchman will make a move for the Spaniard when the summer window opens.

The Spain Under-21 international has already managed to appear 14 times for Barcelona, but is currently representing the Barcelona B team. However, the midfield starlet, who has been likened to Xavi, will officially be promoted to the senior squad on a permanent basis this summer.

While Pep Guardiola will undoubtedly be keen to hold onto his young star, the Barcelona boss could be tempted to sell the Spanish starlet should a big-money offer be tabled during the summer.

Wenger has already managed to snap up 16-year-old Jon Miquel Toral Harper from the grasps of the La Liga champions earlier on in the year, which will no doubt leave the Frenchman buoyed over pulling off a possible deal for Thiago Alcantara this summer.

    I don’t know too much about this player but he must be a good player. I think coming from Barca means he must be good. It will be good if we can get him, but personally we need players for now not future players.
