**Arsenal target Yoann Gourcoff is nothing but a rumour according to his agent Alain Migliaccio. The French 25-year-old is a talented player who has drawn comparisons to French legend Zinedine Zidane due to his playing style.**

**Gourcoff was believed to be a huge admirer of Wenger’s and was identified as a potential replacement to fill the role left by Cesc Fabregas.**

Gourcoff has struggled to make an impact since his move to Lyon from Bordeaux in 2010 and has admitted his disappointment and frustration with his performances. He said “I expected a lot more of myself” and “It’s clear that my attacking contribution is not enough”

Rumours were speculating that Wenger could change the 25-year-old’s fortunes around and bring him to London. However Alain Migliaccio has squashed any rumours regarding his client insisting nothing is concrete.

He told *calciomercato.it*.: Yoann is working to return as soon as possible to the field after an ankle injury,

“The rumours about the \[Arsenal\] interest? At the moment he is only thinking about his recovery.

“Wenger is a dear friend of mine and I have never been asked about this player.”
