Arsenal To Snatch Barcelona Youngster?

Arsenal To Snatch Barcelona Youngster?

According to the DailyMail, Spanish giants Barcelona are wary about Arsenal’s reported interest in their academy product Antonio Sanabria, as the 17-year old has entered into his first year at the Barcelona ‘B’ senior team and could tempt Arsene Wenger to make a bid for the attacker.

The Gunners have got off to a nearly perfect start to their Barclays Premier League campaign, and have produced a spectacular display of consistency in their results through the first three months of the new season. The level of performances have been commendable from each player, and the side is growing in confidence with every passing week, giving renewed hope to the club’s loyal supporters, who have been patient in the club’s long quest for success. Arsenal have not won a trophy for nearly a decade, and the signing of Mesut Ozil on a club record £42.5 million from Real Madrid was a big signal of intent from the London based club. The move gave out a message to the fans about the club’s thinking and plan to success. The good form has not just been shown in the league, but also other elite competitions like the UEFA Champions League. Even though their latest home game against Borussia Dortmund ended in defeat and the club lost to Chelsea in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night, they still look like a different outfit this year.


Arsenal played Crystal Palace on Saturday, and again came out victorious by two goals courtesy Mikel Arteta and the in-form Olivier Giroud. The Gunners have won 7 of their last 8 Premier League encounters, and have bagged 22 points so far to sit at the top of the table with Chelsea and Liverpool in hot pursuit. As Chelsea and Manchester City play each other this Sunday, it will help Arsenal open up a gap on either club as a result of their victory at Selhurst Park.

Cesc Fabregas was a signing by Wenger from Barcelona, and the Catalan club are concerned that Wenger will attempt to lure Sanabria to the Emirates Stadium. As a result, the La Liga champions are considering a new contract for the Paraguayan.
