Manchester City keen on £43m midfielder as a replacement for David Silva

Manchester City are interested in signing Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar, according to L'Equipe. The 21-year-old Frenchman is highly rated by Pep Guardiola who is keen on landing him. Aouar, who has been at Lyon since 2009, made his first-team debut in 2017 and has been a regular in the side ever since. This season, he played in all of Lyon’s 25 league matches and scored three goals. City are set to lose their skipper David Silva who is set to leave the club at the end of the season. The 34-year-old’s departure would mean that City would only be left with creative midfielder Kevin de Bruyne to orchestrate their attacks from the middle. Hence, the talented and creative Aouar’s arrival seems like a welcome sign for City if they make a move for him. Lyon have put a £43million price tag on Aouar’s head and it remains to be seen if City are ready to spill the cash on the young midfielder. Source: Daily Mail
