Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal chase Yoann Gourcuff?

French international midfielder Yoann Gourcuff is being monitored by Premier League rivals Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal, according to reports.

The 29-year-old is a free agent following his release from Lyon at the end of last season.

Former club Bordeaux, where the playmaker enjoyed his best years, have pulled out of the running, leaving the Premier League trio to battle it out for his signature, reports talkSPORT.

Gourcuff, who has 31 caps for his country, also counts AC Milan among his past clubs, and won the Champions League in 2007 during his time at San Siro.
