Here are today's Gunners stories from the Daily Mirror...

Moussa move

Arsene Wenger is eyeing a £16m move for Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko.

Sissoko is on Wenger’s transfer hit-list after the France international admitted that he “loved” Arsenal and had always dreamed of playing for them as he idolised Patrick Vieira.

The Gunners boss has £20m to spend in January and may decide his priority is a defender but they are keeping very close tabs on Sissoko.

Sissoko moved to England from Toulouse in January 2013 and has been a revelation at Newcastle as he has often played as an attacking midfielder.

But he can play a deeper role and that is an area where Arsenal want to strengthen and explains why they are watching developments.

Flamini: We WILL improve

Mathieu Flamini last night claimed it would be "crazy" not to expect Arsenal to improve in the second half of the season.

Flamini insists Arsenal's catalogue of injuries is the reason why they go into Christmas languishing outside of the top four and struggling for form and consistency.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's men have endured a disappointing first half of the campaign when their pre-season target was to be challenging for the title but they have become also-rans again.

But Flamini admitted they cannot afford to make the "stupid" mistakes which have plagued their season after they were pegged back again by a late equaliser at Liverpool.

Parlour says fill your boots!

Ray Parlour has revealed who he thinks Arsene Wenger should be looking to sign to help Arsenal climb back into the top four.

The Gunners let a lead slip late on against 10-man Liverpool on Sunday, and have looked susceptible to conceding goals all season.

Unsurprisingly, Parlour is looking at the heart of Arsenal's defence as an area which needs strengthening, as well as the defensive midfield role.

He told Sportlobster: "Winston Reid has been mentioned, but I’m not sure he’s the quality we need. Mats Hummels would be great, a world cup winner and a good player."

Reid ignoring speculation

Winston Reid insists he is not affected by all the speculation surrounding his future at West Ham and says he will continue to give 100 per cent for the club this season.

Reid has yet to agree a new contract with the east London club and can walk away as a free agent at the end of the season.

The New Zealand international has been one of the star performers for West Ham over the last few years and has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in January.

But despite the uncertainty surrounding his future at Upton Park, Reid is adamant the contract situation is not playing on his mind and he will continue to show his best form for Sam Allardyce as the club look to maintain their position in the top four.

Yann's the man

Arsenal are looking to sign want-away Rubin Kazan midfielder Yann M'Vila, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan, according to the Daily Express.

The French midfielder has no intentions to return to the Russian Premier League side when his loan spell at the San Siro ends - putting the Gunners on red alert.

He is set to have his loan at Inter cut short, in order to help the club comply with financial rulings, leaving the door open for a move to England.

M'Vila is a French international who has been linked with a move to the Emirates before and could be the man to fill the long-term void n defensive midfield.

Arsenal target Morgan Schneiderlin is set to choose the Emirates over a move to Tottenham, according to the Sun.

The Southampton midfielder general was wanted by the Gunners in the summer and look set to reignite their transfer ambitions in the January transfer window.

And north London rivals Spurs are also after a move for the French international, who could be interested with a move away from St. Mary's if the contract offer is good enough.

Arsenal are said to be looking for a central midfielder as they search for a long-term replacement for Mikel Arteta, and Schneiderlin is one of the men expected to be able to fill the void.

Marco Reus will snub a move to the Premier League and sign for Real Madrid in the summer, according to the Daily Star.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have all been heavily linked with a move for the German World Cup winner, who becomes available for just £20million in the summer.

If the Dortmund star does not sign a new contract before the end of the season, he will be able to leave for one of Europe's big guns for the cut-down price.

But recent reports suggest that he wants to make the move to La Liga with world champions Real Madrid, with a lucrative five-year contract on the table for him.

The 25-year-old has already made up his mind, which would end any hopes of seeing him in the Premier League.
