Arsenal Transfers: 5 Shock Moves Wenger Could Make Before Window Shuts

1. David Villa

David villa David Villa's protracted move away from Barcelona has been one of the most enduring transfer sagas of the January window. It has been on again-off again more times than your average teenage romance. This week has seen Wenger step up his pursuit of Spain's all-time top goalscorer*, before backtracking by insisting the move would not happen.** This has been coupled with Barcelona's refusal to sell the player as well as Villa's attempt to force his way out of the club.*** It's all very confusing. Apparently, Wenger will make one final (definitely final this time, probably) attempt to land the striker after admitting he has a shortage of strikers at the Emirates. There are also growing concerns about the remainder of the Premier League season with the Gunners failing to add a single player to their ranks this month. After all this, it would come as a huge surprise were Villa to move to the Emirates, but don't rule it out.
