The gunners have just a few weeks to complete the he deal as the transfer window will soon close and so this news of the club making an offer to Lyon will excite the fans as this could be the start of the negotiations if the French club rejects this offer.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants a new attacking midfielder in his squad since it is lacking creativity and he nolonger trusts Mesut Ozil and so it’s believed and reported that he has made Aouar the main target because the French international would fit his desired 4-3-3 formation but the question will be; Can Arsenal afford him in this current climate where clubs don’t have money due to the effects brought by the pandemic. The gunners will however atleast feel happy that it’s reported in France that he would love to leave Lyon this summer.
