  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • Bernard Lacombe, an advisor to the club president Jean Michel-Aulas, has confirmed that Gourcuff's plans are to stay at Lyon: "Yoann Gourcuff won't leave during this transfer window. The president told me that there were opportunities, but all three parties need to be in agreement. <br />

    "The president has had, it's true, there have been a lot of approaches, and that has enabled him to have a different point of view other than the club's. He's talked about it with Yoann. But I don't think he'll leave."
