Lyon playmaker Lucas Paqueta is open to the prospect of a new challenge as Arsenal aim to secure his services this summer transfer window, according to reports in France.
The Gunners are targeting midfield recruits ahead of the new Premier League and European campaign, with Paqueta's form catching Edu's eye. The Arsenal technical director is said to be pushing to get the deal over the line to provide Mikel Arteta with a high-quality option in the centre of the park.
Paqueta, 24, scored 11 goals and registered seven assists in all competitions last season but Lyon could only manage an underwhelming eight-place finish in Ligue 1. The Brazil international joined the French club from AC Milan in 2020 and he remains under contract until 2025.
