Arsenal to increase their bid for Yohan Cabaye

Arsenal are reportedly set to make a second bid for Newcastle United's star midfielder Yohan Cabaye.

The Gunners had initially placed a bid of £10m for the French International, which was rejected by the Magpies.


Newcastle manager Alan Pardew termed the bid from the North London outfit as "unacceptable" and it was instantly rejected as the management currently value the 27-year-old at £20m.

According to The Sun, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hopes to acquire the services of the talented midfielder for a fee of £13m.

Yohan Cabaye joined the Magpies from French Ligue 1 side Lille for a fee of £4.8m in 2011.
