Matuidi back on Arsenal radar

Blaise Matuidi is back on Arsenal's radar after another impressive season for St. Etienne in Ligue 1. The player is valued by his club in the region of 7 million GBP, and is desperate to join the Gunners.

Gilles Grimandi, the Arsenal scout, sends growing references back to Wenger on a monthly basis, and now the Gunners' boss is taking note as he looks to find a partner for Cesc Fabregas.

Bordeaux, Lille, and Monaco are also all interested in the midfielder, but St. Etienne are likely to earn more money from a sale to a Premiership club.

As yet, the Gunners have not made an offer for the player, but could make sound out their interest this week.
