Report: Arsenal prepare an offer for Mikel Arteta’s main summer transfer target

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will try to use the 2020 summer transfer window as the window that starts the building of his team that will in the future challenge for big trophies such as the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. The gunners have already made two signings but they are still linked with others, and it’s now reported that the North Londoners could make an offer for Arteta’s main summer transfer target.

Arsenal has made signing a new attacking midfielder one of their main objectives this summer and it’s well known that they have been linked with highly rated Lyon star Houssem Aouar who has been impressive in the French Ligue one and in Europe hence attracting interest from many top clubs such as the gunners, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Juventus.

It’s now been reported by French source TELEFOOT LA CHAINE DU FOOT that Arsenal will make an offer of above €40million to Lyon for Houssem Aouar as Mikel Arteta has made him his main summer transfer target. 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.
