Arsenaal to up its bid for Villa

Barcelona want £17 million for Arsenal
target David Villa.
Villa had been pursued by the Gunners
throughout January, but they were unable
to reach a deal with the Catalan giants.
El Mundo Deportivo says Arsenal would have
to stump up £17m to get Villa's signature.
The Gunners have had a lot of dealings with
Barcelona, having sold Alexander Hleb,
Cesc Fabregas and Alex Song in past
windows.
