Rumour: Arsenal back for £22 million rated Yohan Cabaye

Yohan Cabaye

As Arsenal enter the latter stages of the season, they are looking to secure the signature of long time target Yohan Cabaye from Newcastle united in the January transfer window.

The Gunners were reportedly rebuffed in their £10 million bid to land the Frenchman in the summer, as they fell short of Newcastles valuation for the player. However, they have renewed interest in the player, and will look to swoop for him in the winter.

The Toons are holding out for a price of £22 million for their midfield star, as they try to fend off interest from the current league leaders. Clubs like PSG are interested in the creative midfielder, which might prove to be an obstacle for Arsene Wenger.

Yohan Cabaye could be enticed by the opportunity to play in the Champions League, which looks a distant dream at Newcastle United. The 27-year old has been in fine form this season, scoring 5 goals in 16 appearances in the Premier League.
