Arsene Wenger will reportedly step up his pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara in the upcoming weeks before trying to sign the 20-year-old Spaniard in January or next summer.
The Frenchman is a big fan of the youngster, so much so that he even asked for first option to buy the £25 million rated ace as part of the deal that saw former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas depart for the Camp Nou.
Barca were unwilling to listen to any offers for the Spanish starlet this summer, but Arsenal remain confident that they can lure him away from his homeland in the upcoming year.
Thiago, who is capable of playing anywhere in the midfielder, has managed to bag 1 assist and 2 goals in 2 appearances for the reigning La Liga and European champions so far this season.

This is complete crap! why even post this and get people’s hopes up!? The guy has a 90 million pound buyout clause and is an integral part of the future of Barcelona….He’s also been getting A LOT of first team action so why would he leave?????? 25 million!!! you must be joking. My apologies for taking this tone but i’m sick and tired of postings like this that have no truth or credibility to them.
gunazblaz u’re ryt, y post such blog with zero percent truth, it’s f**kd nd crap, am nt buyin it
The best chnace we had was buying him as part fo teh Cesc deal if we didnt get him then its not happening.
Personally I would have insisted that he was part of it with money.
Why would Arsenal want to include a player in the deal? After all it’s all about maximising profits.
Enough of this sort of baseless rumours.
Go look for something else to do & stop leading on with lies, mumu!!!
