The World Cup winner has the ability to be a regular in the Gunners' squad, argues a scout for the club, but he does not see a move forthcoming
Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi has revealed that Arsenal tried to sign Florian Thauvin in the formative stages of his career, and he says that if they had managed, the Frenchman would now be a first-team regular.
The Marseille attacker has starred since returning to France following an unsuccessful spell at Newcastle, and has progressed so far that he was a member of the World Cup-winning squad in the summer, albeit one who featured only for a minute.
