Bacary Sagna has said that Yann M'Vila would settle into Arsenal's squad easily because they are a French-speaking team.
Arsene Wenger's club are believed to be in the driving seat to land the 21-year-old, but Inter Milan are also rumoured to be interested.
Sagna believes that the Rennes midfielder, who has 18 caps for France, would fit perfectly into the Gunners' midfield.
"We want more players to come to the team," Sagna told The Mirror. "Lukas Podolski has arrived already and he is a German international and a quality player.
"M'Vila can make a great impact. I'm not sure about his English but it took me time to learn. I think he would suit us as well - Arsenal is a French-speaking team and it will help him settle."
M'Vila has been included in Laurent Blanc's provisional squad for the Euro 2012 championships.
