Yoann Could Gour

It seems that Arsenal have ‘long-term targets’ littering leagues all over the globe and one may be about to become available to The Gunners.

Lyon and France midfielder Yoann Gourcuff looks like ‘one of the two or three players (we’re planning to sell’, says club President Jean-Michael Aulas.

The Ligue 1 outfit have hit a spot of money trouble alerting to Gourcuff’s availability, and in typical Wenger fashion the deal may well be at a knockdown price with Lyon desperate to balance the books.

One problem for Arsenal fans already having shirts printed, The Metro reports, AC Milan are also interested.
