Arsenal boss to offer chance to forgotten midfielder

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could be set to give a big chance to French midfielder Francis Coquelin, according to The Mail.

The talented midfielder has failed to cement his place in the first-team in recent seasons, following the arrival of Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini to the club.

However, with the experienced duo in pale form, Coquelin could find himself in the reckoning for a new start at the North London outfit.

The report also reveals that the 23-year-old's versatility could also allow him to play at right-back and provide a breather to summer signing Calum Chambers.

Coquelin joined the Gunners from Stade Lavallois in 2008.
