Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly interested in Barcelona defender Gerard Pique as the player is keen to move away from Catalonia and criticism from the Spanish media.

Pique has been involved in a number of high-profile incidents of late, including outbursts at Spanish referees and La Liga president Javier Tebas.

The Barcelona defender believes that referees show a preference towards Barca's fierce rivals Real Madrid and the 29-year-old has been widely criticised by the Spanish media for his remarks.

According to the 'Guardian', Pique - and popstar wife Shakira - are looking for a fresh start and see London as an ideal destination to escape the media frenzy in Spain.

This means that the Spain international may try to force himself a move to either Arsenal or Chelsea.
