The Frenchman, who captains the Ligue 1 leaders, has long been linked with a move to a bigger club and now appears to be a priority target for manager Arsene Wenger, who has requested this deal.
Arsenal have been short of quality in midfield at points this season, with a number of big names linked with the Gunners in January before a fine run of form from Francis Coquelin persuaded Wenger to delay a move.
Still, Gonalons now looks set to join the north London club in the summer in a £14.8m move.
