Arsenal are ready to do battle with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea for the signature of Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic, according to a report.

Arsenal are reportedly prepared to rival the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic.

With Granit Xhaka on the verge of an exit after Matteo Guendouzi, Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard all ended their associations with the club, Mikel Arteta is expected to bolster his midfield options before the new season gets underway.

The Gunners are thought to have reignited their interest in Lyon's Houssem Aouar, but they will supposedly have to offload another midfielder before making their move for the much-coveted Frenchman.

Pjanic could be a more realistic target given his struggles at Barcelona, and Sport claims that Arsenal are ready to enter an intense battle for the 31-year-old's services.

The midfielder arrived at Camp Nou from Juventus in a swap deal which saw Arthur Melo head in the opposite direction, but he was only handed six La Liga starts in the 2020-21 season and is expected to head elsewhere this summer.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina international is not due to become a free agent until 2024, but Barca reportedly cannot register their new signings until they do away with more players having exceeded the La Liga salary cap. body check tags ::
