The Gunners tried to sign the Toulouse star in August but the move wasn't successful.
What would had even encouraged Wenger to go for the midfielder in January was his performance in his second game for the French national team which saw him score a goal. That game was a WC Qualifying match against Belarus on Wednesday night.
As Arsenal still looks a bit short in midfield, Capoue might be the perfect replacement for Alex Song since it looks as if they are no longer interested in Yann M'Villa.
