ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger is poised to make a summer move for Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye. Wenger is working on targets, despite the fact he has not publicly committed himself to the Gunners beyond the end of his contract in June.

Wenger admitted at a press briefing on Thursday that, while Arsenal’s attacking numbers stack up this season, there are flaws at the back.

The Senegal international’s own numbers stacked up well when he was at Aston Villa and that was not lost on Everton, who signed him last summer, and he has impressed after his £9million switch to Goodison Park.
