Aaron Ramsey’s brilliant form for Arsenal has not only caught the imagination of Premier League crowds and pundits alike.
The Welshman’s reawakening has been keenly watched by Barcelona who have dispatched scouts to Arsenal’s last four games and Wales’s matches with Belgium and Macedonia.
Ramsey is valued for about £50million, though Wenger may snub the deal to keep his talisman.
Barcelona are in the process of re-evaluating a squad that is showing signs of wear and tear.
Coach Tata Martino has seen his side lose two games in a week and president Sandro Rosell is taking stock with his staff of where and how to strengthen.
Centre back is a key area with David Luiz and Daniel Agger constant in their lists while Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku has also been studied.
Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero has been linked in the Spanish press but while understandable the deal would be difficult for Barcelona.
It was also gathered that former Arsenal skipper, Cesc Fabregas could return to the Emirates from Barcelona.
