Olympique Lyon star Clement Grenier is a target for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Wenger is desperate to sign the midfielder - dubbed the 'new Kaka'.
Grenier, 17, has not signed a professional contract and a source close to the player said: "Wenger is very impressed but Lyon told him to forget it.
"They want him to stay here a few years as they expect to be able to get a huge transfer fee for him."
