What’s the story? Corchia is a highly regarded full back in France which historically makes him an automatic link for Arsenal. However, short of selling one of theirs there really isn’t room for him to start.Does it make sense? Yes. Corchia is battling to start for the French national team at the World Cup so needs to play every week. Doing so for a big club in his home country is a great way of making his case.Is the price right? Lyon will probably end up paying £4-6m but they need to be able to do stuff like this to prevent themselves getting cut adrift by PSG and Monaco.Will it happen? 9/10 – Lyon have been linked for a long time and have a long history of buying from Sochaux.
