Arsene Wenger has admitted his interest in signing Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier.

The 22-year-old playmaker was nearly sold by the Gerland club last summer but Yoann Gourcuff's injury granted him an opportunity and he has proceeded to dazzle this season, attracting admiring glances from all over Europe.

Wenger told Telefoot : "We are following him, I like the intelligence of his play."

"He has interesting qualities, if anyone, he reminds me of Nasri," admitted the Arsenal boss.
