North London outfit Arsenal could be preparing a showdown with the current English Premier League champions, Liverpool as they are reportedly in for the signature of Thiago Alcantara from the German Bundesliga outfit, Bayern Munich.
Thiago Alcantara has declared that he is no longer staying with the Bundesliga champions and has been a subject of speculations to a number of teams across Europe.
The Reds team is reported to be frontrunners in the chase of Thiago Alcantara with reports that they are already in talks and have passed an early stage.

However, a breaking transfer news account on Twitter @Indykaila tweeted that the Gunners board is rushing to convince the player to snub Liverpool and consider a move to the Emirates Stadium.
The tweet claims that a top source at the North London outfit have confirmed that the board is trying to come up with a package that will have Thiago Alcantara at the Emirates Stadium but noted that they are still at the early stage of negotiation as they will have to convince him.
Thiago Alcantara was seen again by his suitors when Bayern Munich ran riot over Spanish La Liga giants, Barcelona in the Champions League by beating them 8-2.
