TRANSFER NEWS: Tottenham and Arsenal are ready to do battle for Houssem Aouar while Tammy Abraham looks for a way out at Chelsea with possible Aston Villa return
Tottenham are ready to battle Arsenal for Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.
The Gunners have a long-term interest in the France international, having tried to sign him last summer.
However, Spurs are also looking to add creativity to their midfield and the 22-year-old is on new managing director of football Fabio Paratici’s list of targets.
Aouar scored seven goals and chipped in with three assists in Ligue 1 last season to help Lyon finish fourth.
He still has two years to run on his contract, but Lyon are ready to cash in as they contend with the financial fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
