The word on the street in Barcelona is that Louis Van Gaal will be leaving the Nou Camp, one way or another, when the Spanish season ends on Friday. And that's bound to spark plenty of Arsenal-related gossip.

Barca can still win the Spanish title, if they beat Celta Vigo and their cross-town rivals Espanyol beat long-time league leaders Deportivo. (Gooners may recall a similar scenario this time last year..?) But the club's VP Joan Gaspart is 'certain' that Van Gaal won't be there after Friday.

That would surely lead to a clearout of the Dutch contingent at the club - and Arsenal will inevitably be among the clubs linked with the likes of Kluivert, the De Boers, Zenden, Bogarde, Reiziger, etc etc... not to mention ex-Ajax man Jari Litmanen.

It would also seem to put an end to all the Overmars-to-Barca speculation. Unless there's nothing else for Teamtalk and co to talk about.
