Arsenal will attempt to sign Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta this summer if Luis Enrique succeeds Arsene Wenger as Gunners boss, according to report from AS.
The Spanish midfielder will definitely be leaving Barcelona at the end of the season as he looks for a fresh challenge.
AS claim that Arsenal believe they can get a transfer done if they can secure a deal to make Enrique the club’s new manager.
Iniesta will have plenty of options, however, as Manchester City, along with clubs from the MLS and China, are also named as being potential suitors for the World Cup winner.
Enrique and Iniesta won nine trophies together at Barcelona over a three-year spell and will have developed a good relationship.
If Enrique does take over from Arsene Wenger at the end of the season, the Gunners would have to be favourites to win his signature, if reports are to be believed.
However, another ex-Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, would also fancy his chances of persuading the 33-year-old to sign for champions Manchester City.
