Saviola setting sights on Arsenal
Argentina international Javier Saviola is weighing up a potential move from Barcelona to Arsenal.
The 24-year-old striker's agent Alfredo Cabrera Brizuela said: "He will make his decision based on football and that points to the Gunners.
"He will have no problem playing in England because he is world-class and will be successful in any country.
"This week is very important because he wants to have a holiday knowing he has his future sorted out."
Saviola, who has 34 international caps and has scored 10 goals, made three appearances at the recent World Cup.
The 1999 South American Footballer of the Year has made more than 100 appearances for Barcelona but has struggled to make an impression at the Nou Camp since moving from River
Plate in 2001.
He spent the 2004/05 season on loan at Monaco before returning to Spain last term when he helped Sevilla to Uefa Cup success.
Saviola's Barcelona contract is set to expire in 2007 and the European champions are keen to recoup some of the reported £15m they spent on the striker.
