Arsenal to buy Nzonzi for Patrick Viera role

Steven Nzonzi has sparked a scramble for his signature after failing to join up for Blackburn’s training camp in Austria, according to The Sun.

The £5 million-rated French midfielder was watched by Chelsea, Arsenal and top foreign clubs last season.

Nzonzi, 23, had a volatile relationship with boss Steve Kean and the right bid could see him move on.
