Well one name that won’t be arriving at The Emirates this summer is Remy Cabella, as Montpellier insist the France Under-21 international is ‘non-transferable’.
The Gunners have reportedly keeping an eye on the 23-year-old, who played a major role in Montpellier’s capture of the Ligue 1 title last season.
The creative midfielder has scored seven goals and created eight in 36 appearances this season and has been attracting the attentions of several European clubs due to his impressive performances for the former Ligue 1 champions.
But Montpellier deputy chairman Laurent Nicollin says any interested clubs must fork out at least £85.6 million to even discuss a possible deal.
Nicollin told French radio station RMC:
‘He is non-transferable. We try to anticipate and plan things, even in football, but it’s complicated.
‘The desire of the club is to keep Remy – he was told and knows this. If a club arrives and offers 100m euros, it will be discussed though.’
Arsene Wenger will have a hefty sum of cash to spend this summer, but even he must have chuckled when he read/heard what price Cabella is going at.
What makes me laugh is Cabella’s price-tag is about the same amount at which United sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, and the Frenchman is nowhere near the Portugal international’s level.
There is no hope for Arsenal of signing Cabella this summer, not at the price he’s valued at.

Isn’t this the guy that quoted us £50 million for Giroud?! It’s bargaining talk, the same as the guys at Lyon and Seville do and they’re two of the toughest negotiators in world football.
I cannot even imagine that, a player like that was not mentioned for young players award this year or last, so how come he has Ronaldo and Messi ability altogether, Montpellier should wake up from their sleep and say something reasonable.
