Arsenal lead Chelsea and Lyon in £8m chase for French starlet Imbula

French fancy: Arsenal want to sign Gilbert Imbula
Chelsea had looked favourites to sign the defensive midfielder. Lyon have also made enquiries but the club sense a greater profit in England for a player valued at £8m.
Arsenal have looked at midfielders including Everton's Marouane Fellaini and West Ham's Momo Diame. Another former Arsenal target, Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente, is close to finalising a move to Juventus.
