Clement Grenier is planning to leave the French side this summer with Arsenal, Everton and Newcastle United all have shown interest in his services.
While Serie A sides Inter Milan and AC Milan are all also interested in the 23-year-old and reports in Italy claimed that these two Italian giants are in the driving seat. German side Bayer Leverkusen are also keeping tabs on Grenier.
The Frenchman has been a long term Arsenal target. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger told that he was interested in him last year.
Due to several other problems the Gunners were targeting other names but now looks like they have reignited their interest.
Wenger said: “We are following him, I like the intelligence of his play. He has interesting qualities, if anyone, he reminds me of Samir Nasri.”
Lyon boss Hubert Fournier has also agreed to sell his star player who scored 5 goals in 23 starts last season.
With number of big names interested in him, it will be his biggest problem that which side should he join.
Arsenal possibly the best club among them right now but he should go where he can play regular football. At Arsenal they have Mesut Ozil for that role.
The attacking midfielder is currently sidelined due to a groin injury.
Junaid Effendi follow him on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus.
