Today's reports in France have suggested that Portuguese midfielder Joao Moutinho has handed in a transfer request with an interest to play in the Premier League.
Monaco had their two Colombian pairing of Rademel Falcao and James Rodriguez leave in the summer leaving Moutinho disillusioned as to why Monaco didn't replace them.
The news is certain to grab the attention of Arsene Wenger who has historically been interested in the midfielder but will face a hefty price tag if they are to get their man in January.
A bid between £25-30 million is suggested to be enough to tempt the French side into considering offers but, if Arsenal progress in the Champions League, will have to be without the play maker in the latter stages having played for Monaco in this years campaign.
