Arsenal are facing competition from the side they knocked out of the Champions League, Udinese, for Rennes defensive midfielder Yann M’Vila.
The midfielder has put in some excellent early season performances and Arsene Wenger is looking to land the player within the next five days. Udinese however are also interested and although they do not have the Champions League to offer the 21 year old Frenchman, they do have anough cash from the Alexis Sanchez deal to make the youngster a lucrative offer.
Arsenal do however remain favourites having been keen on him for some time and reports from France now suggest he should be a Gunner by 31st August.
