Aouar refuses to rule out Arsenal move
Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Houssem Aouar has spoken frankly about his future, commenting on links that have been made to other clubs.
The 22-year-old failed to commit his future to the French club who will not be playing European football this season for the first time since 1996.
“There are contacts with clubs, I don’t know yet. We’ll see what happens in the future,” Aouar said following the 1-1 draw with Lorient at the weekend.
With a week of the transfer window remaining, it seems this is a move which will go right down to the wire if it is to be completed. Aouar has already been subject to one bid from Arsenal – who remain hugely interested in the playmaker – but their £32 million bid was rejected.
