Barcelona striker David Villa wants to join Arsenal in the summer, according to reports in the British media.
The Sun newspaper have revealed that the 31-year-old forward hopes to leave Camp Nou at the end of the current campaign and sign for the north London club.
Arsene Wenger failed in an attempt to bring the Spain international to the Emirate Stadium last month, but with his contract running out in June 2014, the Gunners are confident they can secure the former Valencia man's services for around €16m.
Villa is keen to leave the Blaugrana having found himself on the fringes of the first team under Tito Vilanova, despite scoring 10 goals in 15 starts. And with news that Brazilian goalscorer Neymar is to join Barca in July, he sees the Premier League club as an ideal place to reignite his career.
