During the month of January, London's team is aiming to acquire French national team midfielder Yoann Gourcuff, announces the English press.

The capital team has been eyeing the midfielder since last summer, but their offer of 23 million euros was rejected.

Although Lyon's club does not want to lose one of their leaders, their financial stability goals may force them to accept an attractive offer. Furthermore, the French team has previously sold several prominent stars, such as Michael Essien and Karim Benzema.

Last season in the French championship, Gourcuff scored three goals in 24 matches.
