Morgan Schneiderlin closing in on Arsenal switch?

Southampton midfield sensation is reportedly inching closer to a summer move to Arsenal, according to a report.

The French international has been long linked with a summer exit from the Saints, following the exodus of a number of star players at the club.

According to The Metro, the Saints could be lured into selling the talented midfielder during the current transfer window, with the 24-year-old having slapped in a transfer request to force through a move.

Arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur have also been associated with the player's signature in recent weeks.
