The Morrocan is out of favour and Arsenal are looking to offload him, with former club Bordeaux linked with the player.

"It is not worth making things up. I tried to contact him six months ago when the transfer window was open", the Bordeaux chief said according to Sport 10.

"Since I crossed paths with him at the Parc des Princes, he was able to tell me he was very happy in London, loved Arsenal and was fine where he was."
