Arsenal are reportedly on "red alert" after Moussa Sissoko revealed he is hoping to leave Newcastle United for a Premier League club.
Per the Sun's Alec Shilton, he said: "My priority is to stay in England even if I’m not against going to search for a new challenge elsewhere. I particularly want to play with big players and in top-level matches."
Shilton reported the Gunners as being "among the front-runners" to sign him, so his comments will no doubt have piqued their interest.
The Frenchman suffered relegation with Newcastle last season and was widely criticised for a perceived lack of effort.
