Hleb In Barcelona For Medical

After the habitual photographs outside the club's offices where the large Blaugrana crest stands, the Belorussian will undergo a rigorous physical exam.

Hospital de Barcelona will be his first port of call, before travelling the short distance to the stadium to undergo further exams by the Barça medical team.

On Thursday morning, Hleb is expected to sign his contract before being presented to the press after his protracted move from Arsenal was finally completed.

The 27-year-old never made it a secret that he was keen to join Barcelona, having previously cited Inter as his preferred destination, and the Gunners were unable to persuade him to stay.

Arsène Wenger was always keen to keep Hleb, but once the former Stuttgart midfielder had made his mind up to leave it Arsenal were determined to hold out for the right price.

According to reports, Barça will pay €12.5 up front with €2.5m more depending on his performances and the team's achievements during his spell at the club.
