Arsenal are reportedly ready to end their pursuit of Barcelona striker David Villa.

Arsenal will reportedly end their interest in Barcelona striker David Villa.

The Gunners were looking to try to conclude a deal for the Spaniard in January but were unable to agree a deal with the Catalan giants, and manager Arsene Wenger will now turn his attention elsewhere, according to The People.

It has been reported that Arsenal saw the 31-year-old as a player who could make an immediate impact in January, but they will now pursue younger players this summer.

Villa is Spain's all-time leading scorer with 51 goals in 82 appearances.
