The Barcelona newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reports that Barcelona is closely monitoring Arsenal's midfielder Jack Wilshere.

During the summer, the Catalan team bid farewell to promising midfielder Thiago Alcantara, who went to Bayern Munich, so after this season Gerardo Martino would like to fill this gap.

According to the source mentioned, among the candidates are also Ilkay Gundogan and Koke, although there is more interest in J. Wilshere.

However, Arsenal is not planning to part ways with the 21-year-old player, but Barcelona has acquired Arsenal players in the past, making this deal very realistic.

The Englishman has been playing for the London team since 2008. In 109 matches played, he has scored 7 goals and provided 19 assists.
