Arsenal manager sets sights on French sensation

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will renew his interest in one of France's best in the January transfer window.

The Gunners had been constantly linked with a summer move for Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, but a deal failed to materialize.

However, The Mirror claims that Wenger is confident of pursuing the player's signature ahead of North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the upcoming transfer window.

The report adds that the Gunners would have to pay a fee in the region of £25m in order to seal a deal for the French international.

Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Hull City in the Premier League on Saturday.
