According to the same story, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eager to sign a new defensive midfielder to offer his back four more protection in the English top flight next term.

The France international has won the Premier League title, the Champions League crown, the Europa League trophy, the FA Cup, the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World Cup with the Blues.
