M'Bia reveals Arsenal bid

Rennes midfielder Stephane Mbia has revealed that Arsenal had made a late transfer deadline day offer for him. Arsene Wenger failed to complete any transfers in time before the window closed.

"Everyone knows there are clubs that are after me, that is not new, Arsenal made contact in the last hours of the past market but the club did not want to let me go," he added.

"Rennes is looking to improve my pay, I have already decided to stay here against my wish, however everyone knows I want to move to the Premier League to improve myself and play in the biggest league in the world."
