# Arsenal and Juventus chasing PSG midfielder Matuidi

The Frenchman has been strongly linked with a move away from the French club Paris Saint-Germain, with reports suggesting he wants a move to the Premier League, however, new PSG coach Unai Emery is keen to keep hold of him but he may be willing to let  him go should a huge bid come in.

The midfielder made 237 appearances for PSG since arriving from Saint Etienne in 2011, scoring 26 goals for the Parisians.

The Gooners are looking for an athletic midfielder, with the fans growing angry at manager Arsene Wenger for a lack of major signings this summer.

Matuidi would add some steel in to the Arsenal squad as they push for an elusive Premier League title win.
