Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reportedly wants to sign Sergio Busquets.

Reports in Spain suggest that the Gunners boss has asked club chiefs to go after the Barcelona defensive midfielder as he plans an assault on the Premier League title.

It is believed that Busquets, 27, is a priority for Wenger who is worried about an injury to Francis Coquelin which would leave him with the ageing Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini in the important midfield position.

Both Sport and Football Espana that Busquets, who is contracted until 2019, has no intention of leaving Barcelona anytime soon but Arsenal will prepare a lucrative offer in a bid to turn his head.
