Arsenal 'for sure' to launch January transfer bid after 'speaking with agent'

Arsenal are reportedly set to return for Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar when the January transfer window opens. The Gunners failed with two bids earlier this summer and instead secured the signing of Thomas Partey on transfer deadline day from Atletico Madrid, after triggering his £45million release clause at La Liga HQ. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners are expected to try and broker a deal for Aouar at the third time of asking. “I think they will try again for sure,” he told The Arsenal Lounge: “Now we have to know what will happen with [Dominik] Szoboszlai, they are waiting on his final decision. “But immediately after Szoboszlai signs with another club, they could move again for Aouar. They have already spoke with his agent. “It is not easy to sign Aouar in January, but he is at the top of the list for Arsenal. He’s a favourite for Arteta, it’s the same for the board. So, yes, in my opinion they will try again.” Source- Daily and Sunday Express Join us on Telegram
