With Arsenal urgently in need of fresh blood following their mauling by Monaco, could Southampton playmaker Morgan Schneiderlin be the answer? And might the Saints also struggle to hold on to Nathaniel Clyne with both Chelsea and Man Utd circling?

Apparently Southampton are pressing the right-back to ink a new deal but Clyne's head could be turned by the interest of two of the Premier League's powerhouses.
