Arsenal are plotting a £10m move for Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue, according to reports.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had identified Yann M'Vila as his top midfield target but has been priced out of a move for the Rennes star with the French club wanting an offer of at least £25m before they will do business.
Forced to look elsewhere, Wenger is now reported to be weighing up a bid for 23-year-old Capoue instead.
The France U21 international can play as a defensive midfielder or in defence and has scored three goals so far this season.
He joined Toulouse in 2007 and has three years left on his current contract.
The Gunners could face competition from Serie A side Lazio who are also tracking the 6ft 2in player.
