Arsene Wenger disproves Villa's transfer

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has ruled out the prospect of securing David Villa before the transfer deadline because "Barcelona don't want to sell".

The Gunners boss has been linked with a move for Villa, who has scored 53 goals in 85 games for Spain.

"If somebody is not for sale you expect other clubs not to try and buy him," said Wenger.

"Barcelona don't want to sell David Villa and have made it clear."
