Gunners target £12 million Milan ace

According to reports in Tuttosport, Arsenal are keeping tabs on AC Milan attacking midfielder Yoann Gourcuff's situation at the club after he said he wanted to leave earlier this week.

The 21-year old was completely left out of Milan's squad to face Siena last week and Gourcuff has apparently told senior officials at the Serie A giants that he will be looking to leave in the summer.

The France under-21 international has been with AC since joining them back in 2006 from French side Rennes. He has made over 25 appearances for Milan scoring twice in the process.

It is believed Arsene Wenger will offer Milan £12 million for the player's services and the club may be forced to accept. I have seen Gourcuff on a few occasions now and I must say he looks a very promising talent and I feel he would blossom under the guidance of fellow country man Arsene Wenger.
