St Etienne star Matuidi happy with Arsenal interest

St Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi has welcomed interest from Arsenal.

"I am interested in playing abroad. I would like to test myself in one of the two best leagues in the world," the 22-year-old told skysports.com.

"However, my club would have to be fine with everything. I owe them a lot.

"Playing for Arsenal would be fantastic but I can't say anything about that yet. Everyone knows their wonderful style of football."

St Etienne sports chief Damien Comolli is a former Arsenal scout and remains close to manager Arsene Wenger.
