Bordeaux look set to lose out to Crystal Palace in the chase to sign Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo on loan.
Sanogo has been keen to link up with Bordeaux in his homeland as he seeks regular first team football in the second half of the season.
But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants Sanogo to gain further Premier League experience, which would not be achieved by sending him back to France.
According to French sports daily L'Equipe, Crystal Palace are now favourites to secure a deal for Sanogo this month as they look to add firepower to their ranks.
