Sparagna not long ago was considered one of Marseille’s brightest stars of the future but the club have stalled on offering him a new deal, Mainly because of his poor injury record.
But that has not deterred Arsenal, with La Marseillaise newspaper saying the Gunners have made an offer to lure Sparagna to the Emirates before the end of the year.
A centre back who often plays as a defensive midfielder, Sparagna has been dubbed the ‘new Mathieu Flamini’ by the French media.
Rennes have also made an approach for Sparagna but Arsene Wenger is hopeful of doing business.
