Morgan Schneiderlin 'agrees to join Arsenal'

Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has reportedly agreed to join Arsenal in the summer.

The French international has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in recent months.

However L'Equipe claims that the 25-year-old has a "personal agreement" to join the Gunners at the end of the season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is said to have tried to sign Schneiderlin before the start of this campaign, but the Saints blocked his transfer after the departures of Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren among others.

Schneiderlin will be absent injured when Southampton host Swansea City in the Premier League on Sunday.
