Barcelona have been dealt a blow in their alleged pursuit of hugely impressive Arsenal man Aleksandr Hleb (various).

The La Liga side have done their utmost to unsettle the Belarus midfielder as well as other Gunners stars, primarily Cesc Fabregas, but it seems that comments from 26-year-old Hleb's agent have cooled the speculation, which is refreshing as player representatives are generally better known for pushing such speculation for all it’s worth in order to get their percentage of the move.

Agent Niki Spilevski said: "I can understand why Barcelona would be interested in Alex. But he loves life at Arsenal. He feels he is at the best club in the world. He has the ideal manager; he loves his team-mates and loves London. Why would he want to leave?"

'The La Liga side have done their utmost to unsettle the Belarus midfielder as well as other Arsenal stars'

By common consensus, Hleb has been one of this season's most improved players after an average showing last year. He has now become an integral part of the Emirates side and his vision, touch and flair have become a joy to watch. So back off, Barca!

Sounds to me much the same as past comments by Viera and Henry and on-going comments by Fabregas. Watch this space.

It is no wonder that barca and real show interest in arsenal and united players as this are the best teams in the prem with the best players and play the most attractive football, who for exsample has heard of a spanish interest in spud,liverpool,everton or villa players.

Sure Barca can have him. When he's about 30, has recurring inuries, we have someone behind him even better, and Barca are stupid enough to pay up:) You would think they would learn by know. No one bests the professor.

Hey dont treat Hleb like some cure for a virus. He is human with feelings. Barca wants him becos he can pull the strings. Like they want Henry cos he can slice em up. Bottom line. In a realist world, yes 30 is the s*** but dont talk like ur anticipating it.
