The Express understands that Arsenal are lining up a £15m bid for Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin as they look to win the race to secure his services.
The France international, who missed the Saints one nil defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening with a groin strain, has long been linked with a move away from St Mary’s but wasn’t allowed to move on like many of his former teammates did in the summer.
Manchester United, Liverpool and the Gunners’ fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing in the France international, and Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has admitted that keeping him on the South Coast will not be easy.
Schneiderlin has racked up almost two hundred and fifty appearances for the Saints since signing from Strasbourg in the summer of 2008, and was part of the squads that won promotion from both League One and the Championship.
