Arsenal boss Emery turns to Marseille midfielder Thauvin

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is interested in Olympique Marseille midfielder Florian Thauvin.

Sky Sports says the former Newcastle United winger could be set for a stunning Premier League return this summer.

Thauvin is now said to be in Emery's sights, with Marseille reportedly ready to sell some of their biggest names to comply with Financial Fair Play.

But Arsenal will first have to negotiate a price with Marseille, who are said to be looking for £45million which currently puts Thauvin out of Emery's price range.

The 27-year-old was part of Didier Deschamp's World Cup-winning France squad last summer.

And he has scored an impressive 52 goals during his second spell at Ligue 1 giants Marseille.
