Hleb for Barcelona

Arsenal and Belarusian midfielder Aliaksandr Hleb has publicly criticized teammate Cesc Fabregas and coach Arsene Wenger in wake of the recent transfer rumors linking him to a move to Barcelona. The 27 year old has stated that Wenger has used him mainly on the wings, even though he prefers to play through the centre.

Hleb also contends that Fabregas is selfish and stated “When we get scoring opportunities, Fabregas is much more selfish than me.” The midfielder is slated to join Barcelona in wake of the departure of Deco and the possibility of Brazilian Ronaldinho’s exit.

The Belarusian international also stated that he will be leaving the Gunners and further stated his intentions as it relates to a club by saying “I don’t know where I’ll be next season but I’d prefer Barcelona. It is being negotiated and, hopefully, will be decided soon.”
