He has 168 La Liga goals to his name and scored more World Cup goals than any other Spaniard.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s already 26th of January and Arsenal are yet to make their first signing in the winter market. With so many players been linked with the Gunners daily it is a shame that almost all of them were\/are mere rumours. One player who has been strongly linked with a move to North London is Barcelona forward David Villa. After initially ruling out Villa\u2019s move the Catalans were willing to move forward with the deal if they receive anything above\u00a0\u00a310M.<\/p>\n<p>However it now appears that Arsenal will not be making move for the\u00a0Spanish\u00a0International.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there\u2019s a reason that\u00a0Barca\u00a0is willing to give up Villa at this point in the season. He has not been the same dynamic player since breaking his leg in December 2011. He may not ever get back to that form as he\u2019s already at age 31.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners feel there has been enough encouragement from the player to give them hope that Barca may agree to sell, with the Spain international wanting more regular football.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, probably a smart pickup for the Gunners, but a younger, healthier option would be more enticing.<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants transfer David Villa, who FC Barcelona is willing to part with for \u00a310 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":702,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,63,17,135,1,118,14],"tags":[366,44427,4323,44423,44428,8427,8426,44432,44426,44421,44424,44434,33121,18782,44422,44433,1887,44431,44425,44430],"class_list":["post-32836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-europe","category-football","category-general","category-hot","category-world","tag-arsenal","tag-arsenal-boss-arsene-wenger","tag-arsenal-transfer","tag-arsenal-transfer-david-villa","tag-arsene-wenger-wanst-david-villa","tag-barcelona-david-villa","tag-david-villa","tag-david-villa-approaching-arsenal","tag-david-villa-barcelona-transfer-arsenal","tag-david-villa-transfer","tag-david-villa-transfer-arsenal","tag-david-villa-transfer-gunners","tag-epl","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-fc-barcelona-striker-david-villa","tag-gunners-transfer-david-villa","tag-premier-league","tag-premier-league-david-villa","tag-transfer-arsenal-david-villa","tag-wenger-wants-transfer-villa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/702"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32836\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
