Morgan Schneiderlin to Arsenal?

Gunners reportedly want to add the French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin to their ranks.

Southampton have already sold Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Luke Shaw this summer, with Dejan Lovren, Jay Rodriguez, Jose Fonte and Dani Osvaldo all also likely to leave.

Arsenal believe they can strike a deal for the midfielder who moved to Southampton in 2008 from French club Strasbourg, for around £16 million, although Tottenham - managed by former Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino - are also interested and will rival any bid.

Schneiderlin has two French caps and was a part of Didier Deschamps World Cup squad, playing in the 0-0 draw with Ecuador.

New Saints manager Ronald Koeman is determined to not see his side ripped up even more and reports have circulated that he is hopeful of bringing in at least one new signing next week.
