Arsenal going to £20M for Southampton midfielder Schneiderlin

Arsenal are preparing a major bid for Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.

The Daily Express says the Gunners are ready to launch a £20m bid for Southampton and France star Schneiderlin after Napoli joined the race for the Tottenham target.

Former Saints boss and Tottenham chief Mauricio Pochettino is also eyeing up a move for the 24-year-old midfielder, but reports in Italy claim that Napoli have submitted an offer for his services.

However Southampton are holding out for at least £20million, a price which Arsene Wenger is willing to pay, and the Frenchman will look to hurry a deal through before Napoli come back with an improved offer.
