David Villa, a target for both Arsenal and Spurs, is set to look at offers on the table for his services.
The forward appears set to leave Barcelona after an unhappy season under Tito Vilanova, despite claims from their club president that he will be honouring his contract.
He of course came close to joining Arsenal in the summer, only for the move to be blocked.

There’s light at the end of the tunnel as far as the Gonzalo Higuain transfer saga is concerned. Juventus are set to pull out of the race for the Real Madrid striker, after their bid was blown out of the water by Arsenal’s.
The Italian side who at times seemed to have beaten the Gunners to Higuain’s signature are now focusing on Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez.
Bid
Arsenal’s bid is upwards of £20m, far closer to Real’s asking price than Juventus’s £18.7m-in-installments bid, a typical Italian technique that often fails to impress larger continental sides. With Juventus leaving the race, seemingly defeated, Arsenal are free to complete the deal. Then again, this is Arsenal we’re talking about, so he could be having his medical in Turin tomorrow.

Unsurprisingly, Arsenal Frenchman Laurent Koscielny has been linked with two of Europe's footballing superpowers in Barcelona and Real Madrid.
‘Hard man’
Koscielny has been a huge asset to the team this season, proving himself to be a no nonsense centre half who gets the job done when needed.
His aerial threat and on point positioning has been in a league of its own, making him fully deserve a place in the Barca or Bayern squad, however, he remains our most influential defender and is highly respected here in London. If he did end up leaving, trophies would be guaranteed, but not necessarily first team football.

Manchester United’s unsettled winger Nani has emerged as a surprise target for Arsenal.
Linked in the winter with a move to London, it seems Arsenal still harbour an interest in signing the Portuguese forward, for a fee of around £8.5m
Flop
Nani is not exactly flavour of the month at Old Trafford, demanding a bumper new contract despite falling out of favour in a big way this season. He made only 11 appearances, scoring 3 goals, and showed more of his frustrating side than the exciting skill that kept him at United for 6 years.

It appears that Arsenal have ended their pursuit of Wayne Rooney in favour of Gonzalo Higuain, who appears close to an Emirates switch.
The BBC’s David Ornstein, who has very reliable contacts within Arsenal, had twice denied Arsenal are in for the England international, despite rampant Twitter and press speculation to the contrary.
Today he confirmed Arsenal were interested in Higuain and continued to deny Rooney.
