Arsenal to make move for Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets.

Published 00:00 24/10/08 By By Football Spy

Arsene Wenger is preparing another raid on Barcelona - this time for Sergio Busquets.

The Spanish Under-21 midfielder is stalling on a new deal and his current contract expires next summer.

This has alerted Arsenal boss Wenger, who signed Cesc Fabregas and Fran Merida from Barcelona as teenagers.

Juventus are also looking at Busquets, 20, who is a regular in the Barca first team this season.
