Transfer news: Sky sources say Yohan Cabaye is keen on Arsenal move

Yohan Cabaye: Reportedly keen on a move to Arsenal

Yohan Cabaye is keen on a move to Arsenal but Newcastle warn it will need to be a much improved offer before they will consider a deal, according to Sky sources.

Newcastle believe the £10m bid that came to light on Monday was derisory - and was made in order to placate unhappy Arsenal fans who have been demanding that the club spend some money.
It is understood the prospect of Champions League football is one aspect of the move that would appeal to Cabaye.
Newcastle have no wish or desire to sell Cabaye, but just as with the transfer of Andy Carroll, a realistic bid may be given some consideration if it is in the long-term interests of the club.
Sky sources understand that Arsenal would need to offer between £18-20 million before Newcastle would be tempted to do business.
