3 players Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta could sign after West Ham United victory

Houssem Aouar

According to Italian sports journalist Nicolo Schira, who reported on Twitter, Arsenal’s priority is to sign Lyon captain Houssem Aouar. It’s claimed personal terms – for a contract to run until 2025 – were agreed between the Gunners and the 22-year-old a fortnight ago. However, despite Lyon’s willingness to let their midfielder leave for a new challenge, Arsenal are yet to agree a fee with the French club. Aouar was born and raised in Lyon and has made 139 first-team appearances since making his debut as an 18-year-old.
