Lorient forward happy to be of reported interest to Los Che

Lorient forward Kevin Gameiro has expressed his delight that Valencia have reportedly rekindled their interest in him. The France international striker has been strongly linked with a move to England in recent months. Arsenal and Liverpool were believed to be keen, while North East sources claimed Newcastle had lodged a €10million bid, but Valencia now look firm favourites to land him. Los Che sealed a deal for Lille's Adil Rami in January to secure his arrival this summer and they are looking to make that a double French swoop with Gameiro's signature.

Thrilled

Gameiro has previously stated his preference to move to Valencia, and now reports claim they have made a fresh bid. "Valencia is a very good club and I am thrilled they are showing me they want me to join them," Gameiro is quoted as saying. "This summer will be fascinating, hopefully we will all be fine, I want to score in the last game of the season." Lorient's final game of the season is against Auxerre on Sunday.
