Rumour: Wenger ‘asks Arsenal to sign Busquets’

With the summer transfer window in full swing, managers are working hard trying to strengthen their squads ahead of next season so we’ll bring you all the news and gossip.

Sanchez endured a gruelling debut campaign in England after joining Arsenal from Barcelona last summer, helping Arsene Wenger’s men finish third and retain their FA Cup crown before his involvement in the Copa America.

Sergio Busquets is arguably the best defensive midfielder in the world and has won every trophy as a footballer, both in the club level with Barcelona and internationally with Spain.

Sport reports Wenger wants Busquets to take Francis Coquelin’s defensive midfield role and is top of the long-serving boss’ targets.

The Frenchman is a huge fan of the midfielder and has asked his recruitment team to keep a tab on the 27-year-old, who would be a massive boost to their chances of lifting the Premier League title next season.

Should the Gunners be able to pull off a deal, it seems likely that Busquets would become the club’s first choice in that position, given what he has already achieved in the game.

However, I think it’s going to be practically impossible to sign the Spaniard this summer as he’s been at Barcelona his entire professional career and is a key part of Luis Enrique’s starting eleven. Busquets had recently renew his FC Barcelona contract till 2019, and is believed to be happy at the club.
