Emirates Stadium side encouraged to snap up long-term target.
Arsenal have been linked with a move to bring in free agent midfielder Yoann Gourcuff with the Metro reporting that the French international wants a deal completed by next weekend.
The cultured playmker left Lyon over the summer and is available on a free transfer and would potentially add a fresh option to Arsene Wenger’s Emirates Stadium squad.
Wenger has been linked with an interest in Yoann Gourcuff for many years and the player’s reported £80,000 a week wage expectations are manageable given the player would cost nothing to purchase.
