Arsenal Shows Interest to Midfielder Gareth Barry from Aston Villa

Arsenal has shown interest to Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry and the club officials have already contacted Aston Villa officials on this matter. The English midfielder Gareth Barry has also been linked with a move to Liverpool and he also expressed his wish to play at Anfield. However, officially no big has been placed yet from Arsenal for Gareth Barry and it is expected that the deal could be a player-plus-money deal in which Justin Hoyte could be involved.

Arsenal now needs to include a defensive midfielder to feet the shoe of Mathieu Flamini who left Arsenal to Italian club AC Milan. Moreover, Brazilian midfielder Gilberto is also very close to a move to Panathinaikos for the next season. Aston Villa demand of £18m for Gareth Barry did not match with the figure of Liverpool. So, it would be interesting to see if Arsenal can come under a deal with Aston Villa for getting Gareth Barry next season.
