Yann M'Vila Is Still Open To Arsenal

North London duo boosted in hunt for enforcer.
Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila has handed Arsenal and Tottenham a boost by rejected a move to Russian outfit Zenit St Petersburg, reports the Metro. The 21-year-old has been linked with a move away from Ligue 1 club Rennes this summer, with both Spurs and Arsenal believed to be tracking the highly-rated enforcer. The Gunners were thought to be close to finalising a deal for M’Vila in June but boss Arsene Wenger pulled the plug over concerns about the youngster’s off-field antics. But the sale of Alex Song to Barcelona has reignited Arsenal’s interest, although they now face competition from neighbours Spurs who want M’Vila to replace the outbound Luka Modric. The rivals have been boosted by the news that M’Vila is not interested in joining Zenit. The Russians agreed a fee with Rennes and prepared a lucrative wage package for the French international but the midfielder was reportedly sent racially-motivated hate letters by ultras, warning him not to join the club. Zenit’s first team squad does not include any black players and, according to former boss Dick Advocaat, the club has a policy of not signing certain players based on their skin colour. M’Vila is understood to not be interested in playing in such a poisonous environment and favours a move to the Premier League. Spurs allowed Tom Huddlestone to join Stoke on loan on Tuesday, paving the way for a fresh bid for M’Vila. Arsenal, meanwhile, have identified Nuri Sahin as their first choice to replace Song but will return to M’Vila if the Turk opts to join Liverpool instead

Arsenal anchorman Matteo Guendouzi has made a switch to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old Frenchman hasn’t played for Mikel Arteta’s side since a 2-1 loss to Brighton in June, during which he was involved in a fracas with Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 outfits Lorient back in 2018, having started his career in the academy of PSG. He has played 82 games for the North London club, however, has not been in the matchday squad this campaign. He featured regularly under head-coach Unai Emery in his debut campaign back in 2018-19, playing in 33 of the Gunners 38 Premier League games.

In the game at Brighton – the Gunners second following the post-lockdown restart – he had to be pulled away from Maupay during a confrontation between both sets of play

Why Debuchy is perfect replacement for Sagna at Arsenal

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million . Setback though it was, the protracted nature of Sagna's departure from the Emirates Stadium afforded Wenger ample time to plan for a future without him. Sebastian Jung of Eintracht Frankfurt became a target as far back as January , while talks with Toulouse over Serge Aurier reached a very advanced stage . But as Debuchy makes his final preparations for life in north London, Wenger can be confident that he has secured a very profic
