Alexander Hleb has officially left Premier League

Alexander Hleb has officially left Premier League title contenders Arsenal and moved to La Liga giants Barcelona.The Belarussian reportedly cost the Spanish side £11.8 million.It seems likely that he will replace Ronaldinho at the club, as the Brazilian looks on the verge of signing for AC Milan.Arsenal have had a relatively busy summer transfer window, having signed Samir Nasri from Marseille and agreed to loan Kerrea Gilbert to Leicester City.The media have mostly focused upon star striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who will allegedly join Ronaldinho in Serie A sometime later this month.Following the transfer action, Arsenal are 5/1 to win the Premier League at Coral, behind favourites Manchester United (11/8, William Hill) and local rivals Chelsea (15/8, Ladbrokes).Both of these teams have been involved in the rumour mill themselves over the last few months.There has been heavy speculation over whether United are set to buy Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Blues players Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard have all been reported to be on their way out
