No he hasn’t signed at Arsenal but has been strongly linked to the Gunners. Arsenal are looking to pinch Barry with a late bid.
The word was that Barry had signed with Liverpool but this hasn’t been the case Liverpool have made 3 unsuccessful bids for the English International.
Barry has even expressed his desire to play under Rafa Benitez, and in turn get regular Champions League football, but that was before Arsenal announced they were in the running.
Manager Arsene Wenger declared his interest in midweek and Arsenal officials have contacted Villa to find out the latest position.
No official bid has been made by the north London club for Barry, but it is understood they are willing to make a player-plus-cash deal, possibly involving Justin Hoyte.
Villa are holding out for £18m, a figure Liverpool have yet to match, giving Arsenal hope of snatching the player from under their noses.
Wenger is likely to have plenty of money with Hleb and Adebayor likely to leave so money will not be the issue. Barry would be an ideal replacement for Flamini and Gilberto coming into the side as a holding midfielder and playing the Champions League football he craves.
