According to reports in England, Arsenal is set to make a second bid for Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar.
A previous bid by the Gunners
A summer bid will not be the first attempt by Arsenal to seal Aouar's deal. Last summer, the English side made a 30million Euro offer that was rejected by the French side.
Despite the previous rejection, Arsenal does not look set to give up hope on signing the midfielder.
The evaluation of Aouar by Lyon
According to reports in Spain, the French side is reported to value Aouar at 54million Euros. A bid that so far has not been matched by the Gunners.
Statements making the rounds suggested that the Gunners could not even cough out 40million euros for the deal.
Recent happenings around Houssem Aouar
Lyon failed to make it in the Champions League places for the 2021/2022 season. In line with that, the previous evaluations of their star players have dropped. Aouar included.
Currently, the Lyon board is said to evaluating Houssem Aouar somewhere around 20 million Euros. A price that potentially looks quite decent for the Arsenal board.
Details of Houssem Aouar deal
Based on reports in England, Arsenal is reportedly looking to give Aouar a 100,000 Euro a week deal.
A significant increase from what he earns at Lyon.
Aouar's 2020/2021 season
Aouar did not particularly perform at the high standards we know him for, during last season’s campaign.
He only managed 8 goals and 4 assists, in a season where Lyon as a team was not particularly awesome.
Conclusion
Based on available facts, major validities point to the proof that Houssem Aouar would be an Arsenal player next season.
Nonetheless, fans and supporters alike are urged to keep their fingers crossed and see how events unfold.
