Arsenal is already heavily linked with a move for Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin. Now, reports out in the media suggest that Arsenal has also been linked with Argentine midfielder Sebastian Battaglia who is currently playing for Argentine club Boca Juniors and won his 17th title with the Argentine giants. The midfielder has been in excellent form last season and his agent recently confirmed that one English and two Italian clubs are interested to sign the player. Reports have it that Arsenal has shown interest for the midfielder who earlier spent an unsuccessful stint at Spanish club Villarreal in 2004-2005 season, but went back to Boca Juniors just after one season. Now, let us see if the 28-year-old can make Arsenal make an official bid for him. No doubt, if Arsenal can sign Arshavin, then they would not go for any more midfielder, if not any more player, in January transfer window.
