  Goal.com revealed recently that Barca had reached an agreement with the Gunners and would announce the signing after Hleb flew to Catalunya to complete a medical and agree a four-year deal.
  
  And it is now being reported that the Blaugrana will unveil the Belarusian playmaker on Tuesday after finalising a deal comprising ₤12.5million up front with a potential ₤2.5million in add-ons.
  
  The 27-year-old, who signed for Arsenal for ₤10million in 2005, is set to earn around ₤65,000-per-week at Camp Nou and will have the unenviable task of making Barca fans forget about Ronaldinho and Deco.
  
  Hleb’s departure from the Emirates was all but sealed once Arsene Wenger wrapped up the signing of French prodigy Samir Nasri, who will almost certainly replace the former VfB Stuttgart man on the flanks.
  
  Welsh youngster Aaron Ramsey, who snubbed interest from Manchester United and Everton to join the north London club, could also be given the chance to cement himself on the wing should Tomas Rosicky fail to deliver next term.

  arsenal seems to have a reset button every season or two....players who have settled down and established their positions don't stay long....is it a wonder why they are the greatest pretender to the title......

  and who are they? who dont know arsenal famous for opening floodgates against pussy teams like derby. if they can score to win a game then no need to blame bad luck, ref decisions again. can score why scared, just attack all the way instead of closing the pussy.

  money is 1 thing but arsenal no trophy for 3 seasons cant even compete for carling or fa cup. if they r winning trophies ppl will be inclined to stay despite low pay.so not surprising hleb, flamini all leave.
