Bordeaux will not sell Arsenal, Man City target Gourcuff to French rival

Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud has ruled out selling Yoann Gourcuff to a French rival.

Gourcuff has been widely tipped to leave Parc Lescure after returning from South Africa, where he was on World Cup duty with France.

Arsenal and Lyon have been among the clubs linked with the 23-year-old, and while the French outfit have enquired about the playmaker, Triaud believes nothing more will come of it.

He told 20 minutes: "An official from Lyon called one of our officials to talk. But there was no concrete proposition, it all remained vague.

"Frankly, we don't care, we are absolutely not attracted (to selling him to Lyon)."
