Arsenal are willing to sell Francis Coquelin this month.

The Mirror says the Gunners are prepared to sell Coquelin in January - and West Ham are keen.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger left Coquelin out of Arsenal's squad at Nottingham Forest on Sunday because a transfer could happen this month.

Coquelin, 26, has lost his place as a regular starter at Arsenal, wants more game time and a move would allow him to get his career back on track.

West Ham are keen to bring in a new midfielder but so far have not been able to do deals for Stoke's Joe Allen or Newcastle's Jonjo Shelvey.
