Arsenal has been handed a boost in their bid to land Houssem Aouar this summer after Juventus pulled out the race for the midfielder, reports Fabrizio Romano via Sun Sports.
The 22-year-old Frenchman has emerged as a top transfer target for Mikel Arteta’s side in this transfer window.
The Gunners have even placed a bid of around 35m euros for him, but it was turned down by the French side for not being high enough.
They will now look to make another bid, but they faced competition from top teams like Barcelona and Juventus.
The report is now claiming that Juve is out of the race because they will not pay the 50m euros that Lyon wants.
Romano was quoted by Sun Sport saying: “They can’t spend €50million for Aouar, so it’s Arsenal.
“They’re the club who are trying to sign Aouar.”
The same report claims that the midfielder is also keen to make the move to north London and to join Arteta’s revolution at the Emirates.
Arsenal has also targeted Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey and Chelsea’s Jorginho in this transfer window.
Both players seem to be only alternatives to Aouar right now, with the Gunners focusing all their attention towards landing the Lyon man.
Torreria and MG out
Aouar and TP in
Why cant Arsenal make it this
simple? 😁😂
And please FFS NO Jorginho
I don’t think it’s as simple as that Ace, I’m sure if we could get rid of players sooner, we would have gotten our targets by now. I’ll have a meltdown if we end up with jorginho.
You’re not made of wax are you? 😀
😂 I guess we’ll find out SueP if we get Jorginho
Saliba going on loan? So it means arteta really rates Holding and chambers🤔🤔🤔
If you maybe read some of the
reports making the rounds the
situation revolving around the
young Frenchmen have very little
to do with his futbol acumen.
The kid lost his mum, speaks very
little English and is basically all alone
in one of the busiest cities in the
world. Being labeled the next VVD
by deluded Arsenal fans probably
hasnt helped the young man’s
transition either
If he isnt mentally ready to play for
AFC than a loan back to France for
a year might be exactly what William
needs.
Thank you ACE.
Some fans just read headlines and jump into foolish conclusions..
So exhausting and demoralizing
Khadii I don’t know how old you are, but you know you can post your comment without sounding like an idiot.
That’s a bit harsh and uncalled for Lenohappy.
Truedeu if you follow my post here very well sir you will know I don’t attack people, if I make a comment that I thought was harsh, I always apologize but what he said was annoying, I read a report on goal that Arsenal wants to loan out Saliba and I post it on here, the article didn’t say anything about his mom passing away, all the article said was that Arteta does not believe he’s ready, you can read what I posted again sir, he shouldn’t have used the word ‘foolish conclusions’ that’s him telling me I am a fool.
Sorry but what Khadii said isn’t out of order in the slightest.
He didn’t call you a fool at all.
What he said was right alot of fans do only read rubbish printed in papers like the Sun and take it as fact and that goes for alot of people on here and that is a fact.
As always in life people should always follow the facts to give yourself the best judgement possible.
Most football sites like goal.com, caught offside etc print rubbish 90% of the time.
Goal reported HA was in london for a medical 2 days ago but he was pictured training with Lyon that same day, funny how much BS floats around on the internet right?
All i would say to you is this, don’t jump to conclusions because you read something somewhere that sounds like it could be true.
Its like a rumour goes round your wife has been sleeping around with tom dick and harry, so you go sort them out only to find out they were actually planning a party for you.~
Also ACE said ”deluded fans” in a reply to your post, does that mean he called you Deluded? no he didn’t.
There are many meanings to how things are written in English, some things don’t actually mean someone has insulted you personally, which in this case I dont believe you was
Thanks Ace I didn’t know all that.
No worries mate 👍👍
He needs a loan, MA is right!
CC was playing brilliantly before his injury, he’s a much better ball playing defender than Holding.
Saliba isnt ready to start for us not by a long way.
He missed most of last season with injury and then the cancelled campaign.
Both Holding and CC are experienced premier league players and both are homegrown.
It’s just four days to the end of the window and even a blind man can see that we are really short of quality in midfield. We shouldn’t even be talking about,”Aouar boost”. We should be talking about medicals by now ffs. What a joke! It’s really pissing me off.
So, I guess all the rumours of Houssem Aouar having a medical at Arsenal today were just BS as usual, then?
Well if we are to take the Lyon president by his word then we need to seriously put an offer in that they will accept and fast.
According to him we have till the close of play today to do the deal.
Get a move on Arsenal!
PSG is on Aouar too
Oh my, this is almost as bad as waiting for Auba to sign!!
Thankfully, for my health, there are only 3 days to go….😄
I expect Edu to pull it out of the bag..
😂😂Nice one Sue. In 3 days time, we’ll at least know exactly how to set expectations. Could be for a top 4, top 6 or top 8.
That’s for sure, Kstix! 🙂
I personally wouldnt sleep if MA
passes on HA and decides to
sign TP or B. Soumare from Lille.
HA is a fantastic talent and would
undoubtedly be a great signing
for the cub BUT IMHO even with
the Lyon man pulling the creative
strings the Arsenal midfield STILL
lacks the athleticism and steel to
dominant games. El Neny and
Xhaka are both nice players but
neither possess the physicality or
athleticism of a TP or B Soumare
to control the middle of the pitch
A midfield trio of HA, DC and GX
would be pleasing on the eyes at
times but still would be EASILY
overrun by more aggressive,
physical teams. Everton, Liverpool
and Manure come to mind.
For me its either TP or Soumare
first, then HA if Edu is able to call
the Lyon presidents bluff in the
final hours of the window.
AND AGAIN FFS NO JORGINHO!!
😁😂
So just to clarify you don’t want Jorginho?! 😂😂
Aulas is only being a bum and acting tough. There’s no competition for Arsenal.
Even PSG ain’t one, they want to take him on loan and ain’t no way Aulas would accept that except they make a ridiculous offer in fees, besides Aouar already has personal terms with Arsenal
I hope we get Aouar though, that we don’t put too much pressure on him by setting expectations very high. He’s talented no doubt but I hope he comes in and ticks for us because WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS and if he does hit the ground running, I’m going to be dreading the day he gets injured. Because again WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS😭
we need two midfielders, not one. I’ll take a Partey alternative at this point, but we definitely do need as you said, someone with steel that can carry the ball forward too. Elneny doesnt advance play, Xhaka doesnt go forward and has suspect passing, Ceballos is fine all around but still we can look for better.
Even if they bring him,these below average players will make him too good for them.Don’t u see Aub
Not even once were Juventus genuine competition for Arsenal in this race.
That was bûllshît that was started by Boufahsî or what’s his name?
He’s the one French clubs make use of in starting smokescreen for deals.
That journalist is not upto the standards
What about Partey, Eddie. Anything?
Still the same…. Gotta be towards deadline day.
Move out few players left to gather the money for TP, then activate his RC.
He’s always had an agreement to come.
Arsenal activating the clause has been the delay and ish
Yeah, figures.. Right up to the deadline!
Lucas Torreira said his goodbyes at London Colney today. He is due to travel to Madrid in the next 24 hours to complete his medical and finalise his loan. [Charles Watts]
Is it a Loan with an obligation to buy Sue? I hope it is and TP is included in that business
i believe its a loan with an option not obligation
Thats what was said on Skysports today atleast
so this could very much not go in our favor if he ends up flopping in Madrid… ugh. Atletico are destroying us this window.
yea mate, some clubs are very very hard to deal with
Isn’t this like the fourth of fifth boost we’ve been handed with regards to this deal….. I wonder how many more we’ll need to get it over the line…… I just hope Partey would be headed straight to Arsenal, once Torreira joins Atletico.
👍
On a completely different note..
Anyone else finding hilarious that since Manure started to pay silly money for players that now every team in the world are trying to rip them off? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Karma, gotta love it!
For no particular reason, I just believe if the HA deal falls through, Arsenal are just gonna trigger the TP release clause and be done with it, because the TP situation is clear, pay the clause, and the man is yours.. So either way am seeing it one or the other, if not both.
