FORMER Arsenal target Yoann Gourcuff has hinted that he may be forced to move out on loan after a season of limited opportunities with AC Milan.

The Italians signed the young Frenchman despite heavy interest from the Gunners.

And the midfielder has suggested that he may have to look elsewhere for regular football.

"My father came to Milan and we discussed with the leaders," Gourcuff told radio station RMC.

"I do not want to endure a second season like this one. I want to play.

"I am leaning towards a loan option. It is necessary that I find playing time with a good club."

It remains to be seen if the Gunners will reaffirm their interest in the 21-year-old.
