Premier League side Arsenal have reignited their interest in former Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye, according to Daily Mirror.
Paris Saint-German midfielder Cabaye was once linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium before leaving for France few years ago.
Arsenal offered £10million which was rejected by Newcastle United and later PSG splashed £15.5million to seal his deal. But the boss Laurent Blanc has not given him a permanent place in the starting lineup.
Cabaye has started only ten league games so far this season. The 29-year-old is also reportedly eyeing to return to Premier League to get regular football once again.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is said to be a big admirer of the Frenchman and the reports claim that he can afford his move easily as the Gunners have a £50million transfer budget for the summer window.
The Gunners are planning to sign a midfielder this summer, they have been linked with several players including Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin.
Arsene Wenger will prefer Cabaye over Schneiderlin as the Saints star will cost around £25million. Arsenal are looking to seal Cabaye’s deal for a fee around £10million.
Meanwhile, the arrival of a new midfielder would be a trouble for Francis Coquelin as he could be the one to make his way for the new signing.
