Matuidi to snub Arsenal and sign new contract at St. Etienne

The long-time Arsenal target Blaise Matuidi still has 18 months left on his contract with French Ligue 1 side St.Etienne, but with Arsenal and other big teams trying to pesuade him to move, St. Etienne have decided to offer him a new improved extension to his contract.

According to Sky Sports, the negotiations are close to completion and the French U21 international is set to to sign his new contract in the next few days.

Hopefully this will stop any further rumours regarding Arsenal buying him!
