Arsenal have a bargain opportunity to help Mikel Arteta’s midfield issues in the upcoming transfer windows. Houssem Aouar has been linked to the club previously, and his contract situation could explain why a deal is reportedly being explored once again.
According to French news outlet Foot Mercato, multiple Premier league clubs were interested in signing Aouar in the summer. The report went on to say that Lyon valued him at £12.6m.
The Gunners will be in desperate need of a midfielder in the January transfer window. Considering the club's previous interest in Aouar, and his current availability, it’s certainly be a deal that Edu could look to explore.
