Homage to Catalonia? Alexander Hleb's future may soon be known
Barcelona are hoping to confirm the signing of Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb this week, according to the Spanish press. The Barcelona-based newspaper, Sport, has reported that the Belarus international is one of three high-profile targets that the club would like to secure in the next few days.
The paper indicates that the "days are numbered" for negotiations surrounding Hleb, and said the 27-year-old wants to leave the London club "to win titles."
Hleb, who has also been linked with Real Madrid, was reportedly "most seduced" by Barca.
Another Barcelona newspaper, El Mundo Deportivo, has reported that a deal between the club and the striker has been agreed and it is just a matter of confirming the details with Arsenal.
