Arsenal are set to make their move to sign Houssem Aouar in the near future, according to a report in Le10 Sport.

Arsenal have had Aouar on their wishlist all summer, but have not been able to close on a deal for the Lyon midfielder yet.

Arsenal have already seen one bid knocked back by the French club, but they are about to send over an improved offer to France in the hope of getting hold of the central midfielder.

It is believed that Aouar is Mikel Arteta’s top choice, and his potential arrival has created great excitement around the Emirates Stadium.

The 22-year-old, who was hailed as incredible by Pep Guardiola (Sky Sports), is so gifted in possession and would add even more creativity to Arteta’s ranks.

Aouar could form a partnership with Dani Ceballos and Granit Xhaka in Arsenal’s midfield, which would make Arteta’s options look very strong.

If Arsenal can agree a fee with Lyon then their chances of landing the midfielder look strong.

It was claimed earlier this week by Fabrizio Romano that Aouar wants to join Arsenal, so persuading him to make the move shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.
