Arsenal after Busquets

Cape Town - Arsenal are interested in making a sensational swoop for Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets, according to reports.

The Express report that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is interested in bringing Sergio Busquets to the London club.

The 27-year-old Spanish international is at the top of the Gunners manager's transfer list, according to Spanish newspaper Sport.

Busquets joined the Catalan giants as a youth academy member in 2005 and has played over 200 games for the La Liga champions.
