It has been reported that Saint Etienne captain Loic Perrin is emerging as a top January target for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Wenger is actively trying to sign a new centre-back for Arsenal early in the January transfer window.
And the Telegraph says Perrin has emerged as a viable option.
Perrin is versatile in that he can play centre-back or as a defensive midfielder and, at around £6 million, would not put a huge dent in the transfer budget at a time when the majority of the best players in Europe are not available.
