ARSENAL are being linked with a move for St Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
Gunners scout Giles Grimandi is known to be a keen admirer of the French under-21 international.
The playmaker is recognised for his creative passing style, and he is one of the first names on the Ligue 1's team sheet.
And it looks as though he could be following in the footsteps of friends Samir Nasri and Lassana Diarra.
