Arsenal renews their interest in this MIDFIELD enforcer.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reported to be keen on making a fresh move for Les Blues and Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila according to the Metro sports.

The 21 year old holding midfielder was poised to sign for the English club in the summer but the deal fell through over the player’s poor discipline. Since then, M’Vila has faced a downward spiral, and Rennes are keen to offload him on a cut-price deal at just £8m.

The Frenchman’s talent is however in no doubt, as there are numerous clubs lining up for his signature, including Tottenham, QPR and CSKA Moscow.

The Gunners need to spruce up their midfield by adding some mettle and the French man could be a valuable addition with his power and pace.

Although Mikel Arteta has performed admirably in the absence of injured Abou Diaby, the side needs a defensive minded player to utilize the Spaniard’s creativity more after they lost Alex Song.

Arsenal are also mulling a move for legendary striker Thierry Henry, who could also join in the January transfer window for a second loan spell.

“I have not lost interest in him. I have not ruled out a move completely,’ Wenger said, just a week after he announced that he was not interested to bring back the legendary striker back to the Emirates.

Arsenal have also been linked to Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye.
