Arsenal are being strongly linked with signing France
Under 21 international Yoan Gouffran.
The Caen striker will reportedly join The Gunners on a four-year
deal but return to the French club on loan for the coming
season.
Gouffran was the Ligue 2 Player of the Year last term as his 15
goals helped fire Caen back into France's top-flight.
The highly-rated attacker was close to joining Auxerre last summer,
while Chelsea and Valencia are admirers of the 21-year-old.
Paris Saint Germain could rival Arsenal for Gouffran's signature
but reports suggest Arsene Wenger will land the starlet.
Gouffran is believed to be costing Arsenal in the region of
3million (£2million).
Arsenal are also edging closer to completing the capture of another
French ace in Auxerre's Bakari Sagna.
