Morgan Schneiderlin open to Arsenal switch?

Southampton midfield star Morgan Schneiderlin is reportedly ready to leave the South Coast club during the summer transfer window.

The Saints have already sold out their main trio in Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw and Adam Lallana, who played a huge part in the club's excellent finish to the Premier League campaign.

According to Goal.com, Schneiderlin has told the club's hierachy to allow his departure from the club this summer, with the likes of Arsenal and Napoli interested in his services.

It is understood that the 24-year-old would favour a stay in the English top flight, and the Gunners may consider launching a bid for the French international, having known of the player's intention to leave the Saints.
