Houssem Aouar confirms Arsenal transfer talks as Edu prepares new bid


Houssem Aouar confirmed that discussions are ongoing between Arsenal and Lyon over a potential transfer. The Frenchman was asked about his future after his side's 1-1 draw with Lorient this evening in Ligue 1. The Gunners saw an offer of £32million rejected for the Frenchman in midweek, as Lyon want around £54m to let their star man go but Arsenal are unlikely to be able to afford that. Speaking to Canal+ this evening, Aouar claimed he would not discuss the matter out of respect for Lyon. He said: "I will give you an interview after the match but I will not talk about my future" Aouar was then pushed for an answer on whether he would be keen to join Arsenal. The 22-year-old refused to rule out a move to the Emirates Stadium: "There are contact with clubs, I don’t know yet. We’ll see what happens in the future." Arsenal chief Edu is preparing a new bid for Aouar and is reportedly set to offer an additional £9m in add-ons for the player.
