Olympique Marseille sports director Andoni Zubizarreta is warming to a move to Arsenal.

Off contract in June, Zubizarreta is yet to commit to the Gunners, but is now leaning towards a London move, says Le 10 Sport.

The former Barcelona feels he's been sidelined since the New Year and is keen on joining the newly forming project at Arsenal.

Inside Marseille, the board is split though there's a growing concern they'll struggle to find a quality replacement for Zubi.

Steve Mandanda, Dimitri Payet and Florian Thauvin were all signed by Zubi over the past three seasons.
