Sergio Busquets has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
The Barcelona ace is said to be seen as the ideal player to help Francis Coquelin's development at the Emirates Stadium.
According to Spanish publication Sport, Wenger is seeking further funds in order to push through a move for the World Cup winner.
However, it is claimed that Barcelona will be reluctant to allow the experienced defensive midfielder to move on due to their ongoing transfer ban.
Busquets made 47 appearances for the Catalan giants last season in their memorable treble-winning campaign.
