Arsenal are looking to bolster their squad for the coming season and boss Arsene Wenger is a known admirer of the 22-year-old, fuelling speculation over a possible transfer.

Wenger previously stated that the France international reminds him of former Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri, and Grenier confirmed the London club have already made a bid.

"I know Lyon have refused an offer from Arsenal. Of course it's flattering that clubs are interested in me," Grenier told Le Parisien.

The 22-year-old also confirmed recently that he hopes his future will be sorted soon.

Speaking to RTL, he explained: "Today, I can’t honestly give an answer (on my future), because my future is not decided.

"I have a meeting very soon with the president, the coach and my representatives, to discuss a little bit of everything.

"But today I have problems talking about my future because nothing is decided. I prefer to wait to be 100 percent sure about what is going to happen."
