Arsenal want to sign £14m rated French midfielder Maxime Gonalons, who currently plies his trade fro Lyon in Ligue 1, reports the Mirror.

Although Gonalons is highly rated, he’s failed to register a single goal or assist this season, but has still been a consistent calming influence in Lyon’s midfield.
He prides himself on his passing ability, but his physical presence means he is strong in the air and a good tackler – meaning he has the natural attributes to succeed in the Premier League.
Arsenal currently deploy either Mathieu Flamini or Mikel Arteta in the anchorman role, but Gonalons would provide a more technically astute, long term option.
