Houssem Aouar could be heading to the Emirates Stadium ahead of next season as Arsenal are interested in the Frenchman
Premier League club Arsenal are looking to bolster their squad ahead of next season having finished in the 5th position during the just-concluded campaign.
Club manager Mikel Arteta would be disappointed that they failed to qualify for the Champions League, however, they are now looking at the possibility of signing France midfielder Houssem Aouar.
The Gunners have failed to finish in the top-four position for six consecutive seasons now, but they will hope to change their status in the next campaign.
The 23-year-old is said to possess great awareness and a dribbling ability which would complement a defensive midfielder such as Granit Xhaka or Thomas Partey.
It was gathered that French Ligue 1 side Lyon have slapped a £12.6million on the classy midfielder as negotiations over renewing his contract has stalled.
Aouar is believed to be demanding higher wages, but that should not deter top Premier League clubs like Arsenal who are richer.
However, other top clubs interested in the youngster include Liverpool, Real Betis and Real Sociedad who are all said to be monitoring the star.
