Meanwhile the Italians clubs such as Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan have also been linked withMonaco midfielder, but the London club seems to be favourites to sign Kondogbia this summer.
The news bring plenty of good reaction from fans on Twitter.
Cech & Kondogbia talks ongoing. Would be a terrific double signing if #afc could pull them off. Brings required strengthening to first XI.

€35m = £25m So Kondogbia would cost the same as the asking price of Morgan S. So my guess is that it will come down to who AW wants. — Ash (@DaGunner_) June 17, 2015
I want Kondogbia more now that people are questioning whether we’ll get him or not.

Wenger wants Kondogbia -has had conversations with the player. we all know what happens when Arsène speaks 2 a player pic.twitter.com/rUuIdHd0kU — mkalla mwambodze (@mmkalla) June 17, 2015
it’s gonna be between kondogbia and schneiderlin for the CM position. I think the former is far more likely to happen.

Kondogbia makes perfect sense, please pull it off Arsene #AFC. — ALEXIS (@RyanStevenHanna) June 17, 2015
Kondogbia would have no problem to link up with Giroud at Arsenal. They did well for France already #afc https://t.co/fndvi5U5Iz

Arsenal are challenging for the Title if they sign Cech, Kondogbia and a top striker.

If Arsenal sign Kondogbia, and Inter sign Miranda and Imbula, while Milan signs KPB and Felipe Melo to replace De Jong, is the day I die. — AC Milan Norway (@ACMilanNorway) June 16, 2015
