Arsenal might play a key role in helping Barcelona pry Gareth Bale away from arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

According to an exlcusive report in the Daily Mirror Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is planning a full-scale attempt to sign Gareth Bale this summer.

Guardiola has put Tottenham flyer Bale at the top of his transfer wish-list, ahead of Valencia’s Jordi Alba and AC Milan defender Thiago Silva.

According to the report, Barca are ready to offload 20-year-old forwards Isaac Cuenca and Cristian Tello and midfielder Jonathan Dos Santos, 21, to help fund the move for Bale and are also willing to propose a players-plus-cash deal.

And it is Arsenal that are closely watching developments on Cuenca and Tello and should the pick them up they will open up the path for Gale.

Chelsea are also keeping tabs on all three youngsters.

Tottenham insist that Bale is not for sale.

    Looks like you have given up on this season and hoping that other teams will do what you lot have failed to do.

    The only key to Barcelona is staying the youngster stars at camp nou.They are creaters, architects,playmakers etc.... They are just better than any other team star players. Barca must keep these stars.

    Hardly likely, Goons will only help push Van Handbag out of the library by not finishing in a CL place. So don`t get blaming anyone else but yourselves.

    Barcelona have no chance of getting Bale. We did not sell Modric to Chelsea and are 7 points ahead of them at prsent and will not sell Bale.

    . First arsenal don't spend money, second those kids are worth nothing. Like real, barca will just borrow 300 million from Santander to purchase players...
