Arsenal have been given the green light to pursue Lille's top talents after the French club have been ordered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to pay Sporting Lisbon £17m over the transfer row of Rafael Leao.
Leao joined Lille as a free agent in August 2018 after terminating his contract with Sporting, but the Portuguese side claimed the player had sidestepped his £37.4m release clause.
The forward would spend one year in France, scoring eight goals in 24 Ligue 1 appearances before joining AC Milan in August 2019.
