Gunners looking to beat host of English clubs to Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin
The North London side are said to be planning a £15m bid for the midfielder in order to ward off interest from the Merseysiders, Man United and Tottenham Hotspur, according to the Daily Express.
Arsene Wenger is keen to sign a new defensive midfielder and views the France international as the ideal solution to his problems in the middle of the park.
Schneiderlin has been a key part of the Saints’ success this term and has admitted over the summer he wanted to leave St Mary’s.
