Hleb to complete Barca move

Alexander Hleb looks set to complete his on/off transfer from Arsenal to Barcelona this afternoon, as the Belarus international touched down in the Catalan region at around 11:15 on Wednesday to undergo his club medical.

It is understood that Barcelona will be paying £14.4 million to land the Arsenal man; whose agent has been looking for an exit all summer.

Hleb's departure has already seen Arsene Wenger make moves into the transfer market, signing Marseille man Samir Nasri and Aaron Ramsey from Cardiff City.

Alexander Hleb's move will be officially confirmed later this evening or early tomorrow morning.
