Arsenal and Tottenham are believed to be eyeing up a summer swoop for Lille's Jean Makoun.


Spurs boss Juande Ramos has been an admirer of the midfielder since his time in charge of Sevilla and could be tempted into a move.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are desperate to find a replacement for the Milan-bound Mathieu Flamini and see the Cameroonian as the ideal candidate.

Arsenal are rumoured to have already made tentative enquires as to the player's availability and may return with a firm offer.

Makoun is not just drawing attention from North London though, with Juventus, Monaco and Marseille also said to be interested.

However, with Lille understandably keen to retain the services of the 24-year-old it would take an offer of around 14million euros (£11million) to tempt the Ligue 1 club into a sale.

This would be a fantastic signing - lets hope the Gooners don't get him!

Have you seen him play?

I have, and he's a clear improvement over Zokora—and I've recently turned into a bit of a Zoko defender. A very good DM indeed.

 

[robbiesavagehasbreasts]

Ok, thanks. I've heard a lot about him, and know who he is, but never seen him play.

Ok, thanks. I've heard a lot about him, and know who he is, but never seen him play.

Same here, don't watch much French football--though if Wendy rates him, I would give him the benefit of the doubt...

£11m doesn't seem too bad at all, he really stands out at Lille, and has always caught my eye whenever I've seen him play.
