According to latest reports in Spain, Atletico Madrid are planning to put up a bid to sign Spanish International David Villa from La Liga giants. Arsenal were favourites to sign David Villa during the January transfer window until Barcelona President Sandro Rosell insisted he was not for sale.

  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • Barcelona are now open to the prospect of allowing their striker a move away from the Camp Nou amidst interest from a long list of clubs.



    Arsenal are still interested in David Villa , with the North London club eager to improve their options upfront.



    As Arsene Wenger appears to close a deal for Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain, it leaves Villa down the list of his top priorities.



    Atletico Madrid have emerge as a viable option for the Barca star. The club are looking for a proven goalscorer to fill the boots of Colombian star Radamel Falcao who signed for As Monaco.



    David Villa has so far scored 33 goals in 77 La Liga appearances for Barcelona and his time with the La Liga champions looks to be coming to an end.
