Ligue 1 champions Lille could be tempted into a move for Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin, L’Equipe reports.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old has made inroads into the north London club’s first-team this season, but with Arsene Wenger holding Emmanuel Frimpong in high regard, opportunities could be sparse for Coquelin, whose contract with the Gunners expires in 2013.<\/p>\n
Other potential transfer targets for Rudi Garcia include Young Boys’ 21-year-old striker Emmanuel Mayuka, Genoa’s Sebastian Ribas and Brest’s Nolan Roux.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, LOSC president Michel Seydoux has urged his team to respond swiftly after their Champions League elimination.<\/p>\n
“We must bounce back,” he told La Voix des Sports, “We must profit from this unwanted alleviation in our schedule and prove that it was an accident and not a hindrance to progression.<\/p>\n
“We are a club where the management is prudent. We have made provisions in the budget for this situation.”<\/p>\n
