Arsenal need to strengthen in the midfield positions ahead of the Premier League campaign. The Gunners have already signed Fabio Vieira but more additions are still required in the middle of the park to bolster Mikel Arteta’s options.
One player the club has been linked with is Lucas Paqueta. Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports has reported that a move for Paqueta to Arsenal is very possible as Arsenal are going to make contact with the player first before any bid.
However, Lyon are reportedly requiring a €65million (£54million) fee to secure his services which is an expensive deal. The Gunners can instead explore Houssem Aouar’s transfer intentions and sign him for a much cheaper price.
