Arsenal and Tottenham handed Ansu Fati 'hands off' transfer warning as Barcelona play hard ball

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has told Arsenal that Ansu Fati is not for sale. The winger has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, with Manchester United and Tottenham also interested.

The Gunners have been in the market for another wide man for some time and purchased Leandro Trossard for £21million in January as a short-term fix. Ukrainian star Mykhailo Mudryk had been on the Gunners' radar since the summer but London rivals Chelsea hijacked a deal with a £88million move.

Mikel Arteta currently possesses a number of quality options in the winger positions of his efficient 4-3-3 system. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are first choice on either side with Trossard - who scored his first goal for the Gunners in the 1-1 draw with Brentford - and Emile Smith Rowe providing a different choice off the bench.
