Arsenal target Yoann Gourcuff issues come get me plea
LYON midfielder Yoann Gourcuff has issued a come get me plea to Arsenal ahead of the transfer window.
The 26-year-old was on the Gunners' agenda during the January transfer window, with Arsene Wenger looking at a potential loan move.
The Gunners are poised to be given be a £70m transfer kitty, and have also been keeping a tab on Gourcuff's team-mate Grenier.
After struggling to make an impression since his £19m move from AC Milan three years ago, he has dropped a clear hint that he is ready for a move.
"If clubs are interested and interesting, I don't close the door on anything at all," Gourcuff told French paper Ouest France.
"The most important thing is to play, but I have to look at the sporting project, whether they count on me, the means that we're given to succeed, and if they have clear ideas which don't change after a defeat."
Gourcuff scored four goals last season.
