The former Lyon star has been linked with a switch to Arsenal even though there have been no indications of the transfer being completed before the start of the season just yet.

The 27-year-old, who is valued at around £45m by Madrid, is currently Wenger’s prime target in the transfer market according to various claims from the Spanish media.
