Arsenal and Liverpool miss out on target

Free agent Yoann Gourcuff is set to sign a contract with Ligue 1 side Rennes, according to reports in France.

The midfielder has been without a club since leaving Lyon at the end of last season, but in recent years he had been linked with Premier League duo Arsenal and Liverpool.

According to his agent, the English duo both made enquiries about the midfielder but later withdrew their interest and opted out of any possible deal.

Rennes Return

French publication 20 Minutes, are reporting that Rennes are ready to strike a deal with the free-agent, which could see him return to the club for the first time since 2006.

Gourcuff made his name at Rennes before completing a transfer to AC Milan, where he spent two years before returning to France with Bordeux.

Following two years there, he then moved to Lyon in 2010, where he remained up until this season.
