Arsenal are ready to battle Barcelona for Wolverhampton Wanderers' Portuguese star Ruben Neves next summer.
The Wolves skipper is a man in demand and had this week been linked with a move to Spain as Barcelona look at possible candidates to replace Sergio Busquets next season.
Busquets looks set to end his association with the club after 14 years and see Neves as a replacement for the Spanish star. However, according to Sport, Xavi's side could face competition for his signature from the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta is a keen admirer of the Portugal star and has earmarked him as an addition next summer as he looks to add more depth to his midfield, and Wolves could be more willing to negotiate with Neves' contract coming to end in 2024.
