Arsenal's Lukasz Fabianksi replacement Claudio Bravo set for Barcelona switch
ARSENAL are set to miss out on Real Sociedad goalkeeper Claudio Bravo after Barcelona lodged a £10million bid.
The Gunners were keen to make a move for the 31-year-old after losing Lukasz Fabianski to Cardiff earlier in the day, and were hoping to strike a deal worth £7million with his club.
The Chilean international, who joined Sociedad in 2006 and has made over 200 appearances for his team, was rumoured to be open to a Premier League switch, but La Liga giants Barcelona have stolen a march by making an official offer.

The Catalan club have lost stalwarts Victor Valdes and Jose Pinto on free transfers, and although they've already wrapped up the signing of Germany international Marc-Andre ter Stegen, they are desperate to bring in a shot-stopper who can provide plenty of experience between the Nou Camp sticks.
Wenger will now focus his attentions elsewhere, with Swansea's current number one and Liverpool target Michel Vorm also attracting his interest.
