Barcelona have joined Real Madrid in the race to sign Arsenal's Alexander Hleb according to reports on Sky Sports earlier today.

The 27 year old joined The Gunners in 2005 from Stuttgart and has since been a first team regular making 89 appearances and bagging seven goals in the process. However it appears as though he will be making a move away from the Emirates this Summer, with Real Madrid and now Barcelona ready to snap up the Belarusian.

Arsenal had quite an understrength squad last year which slightly lacked in experience, and now that they have already lost Mathieu Flamini, it is clear that Arsene Wenger will have to bring in a few players in that position.

Samir Nasri has been heavily linked with a move to the London club after impressing both internationally for France and on the European stage for Marseille. It is thought that he could complete a £12 million move in the next few weeks.
