Arsenal have been linked with numerous midfielders but have not lured one yet in the summer transfer window.
Southampton star Morgan Schneiderlin was wanted by the Gunners but the French international opted to join rivals Manchester United instead.
Wenger is keen to add a versatile midfielder and if reports are anything to go by then he is very serious about signing Barcelona star Sergio Busquets.
Telegraph claim that Arsenal are closing in to sign Busquets and are ready to meet his huge wage demands.
According to reports, currently the Spanish international earns €170,000 a week with the Catalan giants but wants even higher wages on his new contract.
As per the provided Metro link, Arsenal’s highest earner gets €200,000 a week and the 27-year-old Busquets could get the same wages if he signs for the North Londoners.
Sergio is currently at the peak of his game and has won every major prize for the club and country. Signing him is easier said than done but Wenger must do all in his power to secure his services.

This will never ever happen at Arsenal, salaries for players will not just jump like what people think. Wenger will not attempt anyone who ask for such a huge amount of money, if he wants to play for Arsenal, Arsene Wenger need dedicated people, yes money is needed but for Arsenal, if you ask above their limit, they will not even have a discussion with you. Those who want to join Arsenal and play for Arsenal should know that, the club is not like Man City, PSG, Man United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Buyern Munich and Barcelona, where you ask for unreasonable salary. How Arsenal operate is not like all the clubs I mentioned above. They have their own policy and they always stick to their ethics.
I dont think this deal could happened, the wage is too high and dont forget wenger is d money maker, not extravagant.
What are you talking about? Have you ever heard about the word “change” ?
That is what has taken place after Arsenal has completed the payment of the huge debt incured upon construction of the Emirate stadium. So the club is financially buoyant again to secure the services of any player in the world….
Busquets is the right player arsenal need and one striker but wenger is always slow and does not want to spend money on such kind of players. If arsenal can sign Benzema and Busquets,then arsenal will really challenge for the title this year. Wenger should also remember that we are always effected by injuries if Coquelin gets injured or Giroud , we are definitely or likely to be affected
Wenger should go ahead and do the needful that will propel him to the premier league trophy this season.
Wenger is too stingy to pay such salary for a player. Though we need Busquets to stabilise that midfield for Arsenal to challenge for titles but the policy is the problem.
Honestly, this is rubbish. If Arsene Wenger cannot sign Morgan Shneiderlin at 25 million pounds, there is not a chance in hell that he can sign Sergio Busquets, who would command a transfer fee of atleast 40 million pounds. Besides, why would Sergio Busquets (a catalan La Masia product) leave Barcelona who are making it habit to win trebbles for Arsenal, who celebrate an FA Cup like they have won the FIFA World Cup??!!
What a trash
