Long term Arsenal target, Lucho Gonzalez is available in January according to his agent, after the 30-year-old has found himself out of favour under manager Didier Deschamps at Marseille as reported by talkSport.
The Gunners were reported to be interested in the Argentine international before he moved to France and now may be a perfect opportunity to finally get their man, who would act as a replacement for Cesc Fabregas.
Gonzalez joined Marseille from Porto for around £20million in 2009 and was considered one of the best central midfielders in Europe, but after over 70 appearances for the French club it appears that time is running out for his relationship with Deschamps after just a handful of matches this season.
Everton are also interested in Gonzalez but Marseille will look to get back most of the money they paid for him which could be a stumbling block for the cash strapped Toffees who will only look for a loan move for the Argentinean.
After originally committing himself to the French club in the summer, it appears Gonzalez has changed his mind according to his agent Federico Simonian who spoke to Le 10 Sport.
“He wants to leave,” said Simonian. “He wants to play in a championship that is better than Ligue 1.”
