Arsenal are lining up a potential £6 million January bid for Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure. The Ivory Coast international has been linked with a winter exit from the Camp Nou for some time now after falling out of favour with Barca manager Pep Guardiola.

Arsene Wenger is keen to bring a new central midfield player to the club after seeing both Alexander Hleb and Matthieu Flamini leave the Emirates during the summer. Since been told he has money to spend for the upcoming transfer window, Wenger has been linked with several big name players and Toure is the latest to be linked.

The 25-year old has spent just a year-and-a-half at Barca and, in truth, hasn’t had the best of times. He has made 39 appearances in total for the Catalan giants, scoring just three times in the process. Yaya, is of course the brother of Gunners defender Kolo and it has been speculated on more than one occasion that the pair would link up at either Arsenal or Barca.

What a good signing this would be for Arsenal. I have always rated Toure very highly and I think if Arsenal were to sign him for £6 million it would be a real bargain. I feel Fabergas and Toure would make an excellent partnership in the heart of the Gunners midfield should the move happen.

Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has today ruled out a January move to England after weeks of speculation over his future at the La Liga giants. The French international has been repeatedly linked with a return to the Premier League with Chelsea and Manchester City understood to be interested, however Henry has now pledged his future to Barca.

Henry, 31, has been at the Camp Nou since leaving Arsenal last summer after spending nearly eight seasons at the club. Ever since he left the Gunners their has been talk of a possible return to England but today Henry has definitely put those rumours to bed.

Henry told Catalan’s Hora Q television programme : “I am very clear about this and I am happy here, I do not see myself playing in England … I could maybe do some great things in England, but I have not won anything with Barca and I have to stay … It is not that I really want the Champions League, it is because I want to win the league and Copa del Rey.

“I am happy, yes. I have said so many times. I like the city, the food and the climate … When I put on the Barcelona shirt before going out on to the pitch it is an incredible moment. Last year it was not so incredible, but it was an honour to play.” Personally, I would love to of seen Henry return to the Premier League. He was and still is an exceptional player who would no doubt of strengthened either Chelsea or City.
