Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants to add another France international to his squad as he made an approach to sign Newcastle United's Moussa Sissoko.
It is clear that a number of important players will be sold by the Magpies after manager Rafa Benitez failed to avoid relegation.
The Gunners are ready to offer as much as £10million to sign the 26-year-old who scored 12 goals in 133 games for Newcastle United.
West Ham United are reported to also be interested in the midfielder.
