Hleb is already thought to have agreed terms for his move to the Nou Camp and Barcelona officials are now deep in talks with Arsenal to decide on a fee for the 27-year-old.

The Gunners value the Belarus midfielder at around the £15million mark but Barca are keen on a player-plus-cash deal and have offered Wenger the chance to team up the Toure brothers at Emirates Stadium, according to the Daily Star.

Wenger is in the market for a defensive midfielder following Mathieu Flamini's switch to AC Milan and has long been inked with a move for the younger Toure brother.

The Frenchman actually passed up the opportunity to sign Yaya after taking him on trial three years ago, but the 25-year-old has had an impressive season with Barca and Wenger is keen to get him on board.

And the player himself would jump at the chance of a move with new Catalans boss Josep Guardiola signing Sevilla's Seydou Keita to play in his role.

Yaya said previously: "I am conscious of interest from certain Premier League clubs.

"I can't say anything for the moment, but it's true that it would be great to play for a big club with my brother. That would be fantastic, but you never know."

Barca will still need to pay a sizeable chunk of cash to land Hleb as the Gunners are lining up a big-money swoop for Marseille wonderkid Samir Nasri. But the deal to take Hleb to Spain could be completed within the next seven days.
