The Moroccan international already has 12 caps to his name, and the Gunners' chief scout Steve Rowley has been watching the player in action this month.<br />

In Ligue 1 this year, Belhanda has scored 7 goals in 20 games, whilst also contributing a further three assists to ensure that Montpellier remain in touch with big spending Paris St Germain at the top of the French top tier.<br />

News that Arsenal are preparing a big money move for Belhanda are sure to be exciting for the 5 foot 9 midfielder.<br />

"I know Younes well and like him a lot," Wenger said. "But I don't want to cause problems. Only Montpellier can decide where he goes."
