Arsenal have been encouraged in their pursuit of Southampton ace Morgan
Schneiderlin after the tough tackling midfielder admitted he could leave the
Saints in the summer if the club doesn't qualify for the Champions League.
The France international had looked
set for a move away from St Mary's last summer when he was strongly linked with
Tottenham and Arsenal but the club refused to let him go.
The Saints have had a good season so
far under manager Ronald Koeman but are six points adrift fourth placed
Manchester United with eight matches to play.
The 25-year old has revealed he would
move in search of Champions League football if Southampton fail to make top
four in the Premier League at the end of the season.
He told L’Equipe: “In
August, I wanted to take a move but the club had lost too many players to agree
to sell me.
"Since then I have had
discussions with the leaders and I want to play at the highest level: it is
important at 25 years old to finally know the Champions League.
"Given that, late in the season,
Southampton may qualify for the Champions League and I can stay, who knows. I
have no desire to be in front of my TV on Tuesday and Wednesday."
Schneiderlin is valued around £25m.
