Deal CLOSE: Arsenal to complete significant signing in next few days after meeting asking price for Chelsea target

Mikel Arteta’s side could apparently complete the signing of Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar in the next few days.

Houssem Aouar has been emphatically connected with Arsenal all summer, as per reports, and it might be that they’re currently stepping up their advantage.

As per Don Balon, Arsenal have chosen to make a proposal to meet Lyon’s £60m asking price for the 22-year-old, and that a deal could be days from completion.

As recently noted by report, it appears to be other possible admirers for Houssem Aouar have not yet solidified their enthusiasm for the France Under-21 international.

This could place Arsenal in a solid position, and fans will trust Don Balon’s report is exact.

Arsenal transfer target Houssem Aouar could be approaching a move to the Emirates Stadium

Houssem Aouar has looked conceivably a-list with his form in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League, and it would be some announcement by Arsenal if they could dominate the race for his signature.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is assembling an outstanding team after lifting the mood at the Emirates Stadium, with Gabriel Magalhaes and Willian looking encouraging signings this summer.

Houssem Aouar, in any case, would be on another level for Arsenal and show they’re truly ready to get it done as serious top four competitors.
