Newcastle 'target' Gervinho is set to have talks with Arsenal. Lille can confirm today that the 24yr old wants to leave and although PSG are interested, they would rather sell to a foreign club than their rivals.
However, Gervinho has set his sights on the English Premier League and would also rather move to a team that plays Champions League football.
Lille's Frederic Paquet on French radio station RMC : "He wants to go and has developed contacts with Arsenal.

"Gervinho chose to leave for England, so that limits the scope of the situation.
"We will meet soon with Arsenal, see what they offer - but he is a player of value."
This latest twist on the Gervinho saga can now be put to bed and Newcastle should move onto other targets. Pardew has already confirmed his disappointment over Gameiro and should Gervinho have been a genuine target, this will come as a blow to him and many fans.
