Unsettled Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry is interesting Arsene Wenger according to his manager Martin O'Neill, who revealed he had discussed the player's availability with Arsenal No.2 Pat Rice. Barry has his hopes pinned on a move to Liverpool, though.

Xabi Alonso is thought to be high on Wenger's target list, however, after he reportedly made contact with Anfield officials regarding a transfer.

A reported target for Arsenal is Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. The Holland international, however, has revealed his dream move would be to Manchester United although his preference have not ended Arsenal's interest prematurely, particularly with Emmanuel Adebayor's future at the club yet to be resolved.

AC Milan have been most vocal in their attempts to sign Adebayor, but Barcelona are being linked with a £15 million offer, plus Samuel Eto'o, to lure the striker to the Nou Camp.

Alexander Hleb will be unveiled at Barcelona today after going through with a £15 million move, which could free up funds for a move for Andrei Arshavin.

Werder Bremen's Amaury Bischoff has claimed he is on the verge of a move to north London. The 21-year-old is seen as a potential replacement for Mathieu Flamini, who left the club for AC Milan earlier this summer, but is some way off of first-team football having recently returned to training from a long-term injury.

Gilberto Silva is poised to complete a £1.5 million move to Greek side Panithinaikos, ending his six year association at Arsenal. Real Madrid's Ruben de la Red is believed to be an alternative.
