The form of Arsenal ace Samir Nasri has attracted the interest of Barcelona.
Nasri has emerged as the hottest player in the Premier League and is on target to break the 20-goal barrier this season from midfield.
Catalan media sources say Barca are now following Nasri with the view to signing him for the 2011/12 season.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola has remained unhappy with his wide options ever since the departure of Thierry Henry and feels Nasri could be the solution.
There's even talk that Barca will look to buy Nasri as an alternative if they cannot talk Arsenal down from their £45 million asking price for Cesc Fabregas.
