David Ornstein provides transfer update on Houssem Aouar amid Arsenal links

David Ornstein has provided a transfer update on Houssem Aouar amid Arsenal interest. The Gunners have been heavily linked with the move for Lyon midfielder for the summer transfer window, while they also have Thomas Partey on their radar. Ornstein believes Aouar looks more likely to join Mikel Arteta's side during the summer transfer window. The player himself is eager to make a move to the Premier League side. However, as reports journalist for The Athletic, Arsenal will need to part with some players in order to solve financial issues for the transfer. And Ornstein names the likes of Torreira, Guendouzi and Sokratis as players to try and move on. Mustafi, Kolasinac and Elneny are also probably to be included to the list.

NEW: #AFC will hope to get at least one of Aouar and Partey. Aouar currently looking the more likely. As for Partey, the requested salary & agent fees are steep and the club is unwilling to overspend as they have back up options should a deal not be found.https://t.co/lfOixTwqiw
