Arsenal have previously been linked with Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar but could never nail down a deal for the Frenchman.
The 23-year-old's stock has been on the rise and he's broadcasted his qualities on the Champions League stage previously. Lyon were seeking north of £40m for the player - which priced him out for several clubs. The Gunners have retained an interest and could now land him for a cut-price fee.
Aouar could leave Lyon for as little as £13m, according to RMC Sport. The Frenchman has remained a regular for the Ligue 1 outfit however he has refused to sign a new deal at Lyon and will be available to leave for nothing next summer. Arsenal recently saw Mohamed Elneny pen a new deal at the Emirates.
