Arsenal set to make £6m bid for Blackburn midfielder
Arsenal are set to make a £6million bid for Blackburn’s Steven N’Zonzi.
Arsene Wenger is keen to boost his squad ahead of next season and has signed Lukas Podolski from Cologne.
Also on his wish-list are Javi Martinez, of Athletic Bilbao, and Rennes’ Yann M’Vila.
But Paris-born N’Zonzi has now been added to the targets and an enquiry has already been made.
Blackburn’s relegation means Nzonzi is certain to move and Wenger wants to add the 23-year-old’s power and physical presence to the Arsenal midfield.
He has three years left on his contract, but Rovers will struggle to keep him. N’Zonzi wants to be in the Premier League and Blackburn will find it hard to turn down a decent offer.
But Arsenal will face competition from newly- promoted West Ham.
