Barca step up pursuit of Arsenal & Man Utd transfer target.
Barcelona look set to make the long-awaited signing of Borussia Dortmund defensive midfielder and long-time Arsenal and Manchester United target Ilkay Gundogan this January.
The German international is one of the best players in the world in his position and has been linked with bigger clubs on many occasions in recent times.
It looked like Gundogan could leave Dortmund for the Premier League this summer, only for him to make a late u-turn and sign a new contract with the Bundesliga giants.
