Zenit St. Petersburg consider Yaan M'Vila bid

Russian giants Zenit St.Petersburg are considering a bid for Arsenal target Yann M'Vila, according to reports.

French radio station RMC claims that Rennes are bracing themselves for a bid from the Russian champions for the French international.

Zenit are actively seeking new recruits as they look to make an impact in this season's Champions League.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to Arsenal for much of this summer, and Gunners boss Arsenal Wenger is a long-term admirer of the defensive midfielder.

M'Vila may have warned off a host of European clubs with his antics during Euro 2012, in which he refused to shake the hand of manager Laurent Blanc.
