Gourcuff to Arsenal talk ended by agent

Lyon midfielder Yoann Gourcuff will not be making a move to Arsenal anytime soon, as Arsene Wenger has yet to make a bid for the talented playmaker. The agent of Gourcuff revealed that no firm offer has been made by the Gunners.

During the summer transfer window, Arsenal had been linked with a shock 18m GBP move for Gourcuff but that deal failed to materialize and the Gunners instead replaced Cesc Fabregas with former Everton man Mikel Arteta.


"Yoann is working to return as soon as possible to the field after an ankle injury," Alain Migliaccio toldcalciomercato.it.


"The rumours about the Arsenal interest? At the moment he is only thinking about his recovery.


"Wenger is a dear friend of mine and I have never been asked about this player."
