Aston Villa are eyeing Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo.
The Mirror says Arsene Wenger wants to loan Yaya Sanogo to a Premier League club - to help him graduate to the Arsenal first team.
Bordeaux and Lorient have both made enquiries about taking the France under-21 striker on loan.
But Wenger prefers Sanogo, 21, to go to an English club and Paul Lambert's Aston Villa lead the chase.
Crystal Palace almost had a deal lined up, although that may now change after Neil Warnock's departure.
