Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill has confirmed Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has enquired about signing Villa Captain Gareth Barry which could throw a major spanner in the works of Rafa Benitez’s transfer plans.

Press reports suggest Liverpool will soon sell Spanish international Xabi Alonso to Juventus in a deal ranging from £12-16 million.
