Lyon midfielder Grenier claims Arsenal's bid rejected

Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier has told reporters that his club have rejected an offer from Arsenal. Grenier has been outstanding since his promotion to Lyon's first team and club scout Gilles Grimandi has been monitoring the player in action for over 5 months.

Grenier has just one year left on his contract at Lyon, and the club are ready to sell the player now to recoup at least some cash from a player sale. It is understood that the player wants to extend his stay if possible, and talks will commence next week about a new deal at Lyon.


"I know Lyon have rejected an offer from Arsenal. Of course it's flattering that clubs are interested in me," Grenier revealed.


"It's hard for me to talk about my future now because I'm not yet certain of it. I prefer to wait to be 100 percent sure of what is going to happen before I do it."
