Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar has a ‘provisional contract agreement’ with Nottingham Forest over a summer move to the City Ground, but is stalling on a move, according to reports.
The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for the last few transfer windows. Arsenal have previously been credited with an interest in the player, with it said that they were quoted a fee of around £55 million.
Aouar is now available for a lot cheaper, with the player having suffered injuries and having just one year remaining on his contract with the club. Sky in Italy reported over the weekend that Forest were ‘close’ to signing the player, after reports of a bid rejected last week .
