Francis Coquelin allegedly has signed.

Arsenal are also being linked with this youngster. The 17-year-old Stade Lavallois midfielder had a recent trial with the north Londoners cut short becuase of injury.

Coquelin is a rugged, strong, aggressive defensive midfielder. Blessed with a super passing range as well as all the combative qualities you would expect from a holding central player. He plys his trade for Stade Lavallois and has already featured on various occasions for the Reserves, after being promoted from the Under 18s.
