Arsenal have been given the incentive to try and finally sign Houssem Aouar from Lyon. It is a deal that has long been in the works, but due to the problems of Edu’s other midfield transfer targets, he would certainly be an ideal signing.
According to Italian news outlet Corriere Dello Sport, The Gunners are set to face competition to sign Fabian Ruiz. Teams from his native country, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also set to battle for his signature.
With Ruiz likely to choose a team from La Liga, Arsenal will need to look elsewhere. Aouar would be the perfect player for the number eight role, and it is a deal that would certainly make sense.
