Barca rival Gunners for midfielder

Arsenal look set to face stiff competition from La Liga giants Barcelona in the race to sign Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has earmarked the 23-year-old as a possible arrival after cooling his interest in Rennes star Yann M’Vila.

However, Barcelona are now ready to rival the North London giants in the hunt to sign the Frenchman following the release of Seydou Keita.
