Euro Paper Talk: £54m midfielder receives Arteta promise, as Arsenal deal springs into life; James eyes Spurs star at Everton Arsenal make an exciting promise in a bid to land a £54million midfielder, while James Rodriguez wants a Tottenham star at Everton – all in the latest Euro Paper Talk. MIDFIELDER’S ENTICING ARSENAL PROMISE Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar is pining for a January move to Arsenal on the promise of regular game time, according to a report. The Gunners showed firm interest in the Frenchman in the recent transfer window, submitting a bid. However, Lyon chief Jean-Michel Aulas described that offer as “timid”. As such, Arsenal moved on and activated Thomas Partey’s £45million release clause. And while the Ghanaian has hit the ground running in north London, the interest in Aouar reportedly remains. Indeed, Don Balon claims that Arsenal will step up their hunt for the 22-year-old ahead of the January market. Aouar also has interest from Real Madrid but is aware that he would receive limited game time in the Spanish capital. However, Arsenal boss Arteta promised the player a regular role during their earlier talks, which continues to convince him. As such, the ‘coming weeks’ will reportedly be crucial for Arsenal if they are to land their target. But ‘everything seems to indicate’ that the Gunners will increase their previous bid and reach an agreement. Aouar could provide a well-needed dose of creativity to the Arsenal side. Indeed, Gunners legend Ian Wright pointed out his former side’s lack of a killer pass ahead of their 1-0 defeat to Leicester. Previous reports have suggested that Aouar could leave for around £54million.

Arsenal make an exciting promise in a bid to land a £54million midfielder, while James Rodriguez wants a Tottenham star at Everton – all in the latest Euro Paper Talk.

 

MIDFIELDER’S ENTICING ARSENAL PROMISE

Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar is pining for a January move to Arsenal on the promise of regular game time, according to a report.

The Gunners showed firm interest in the Frenchman in the recent transfer window, submitting a bid. However, Lyon chief Jean-Michel Aulas described that offer as “timid”.

As such, Arsenal moved on and activated Thomas Partey’s £45million release clause. And while the Ghanaian has hit the ground running in north London, the interest in Aouar reportedly remains.

Indeed, Don Balon claims that Arsenal will step up their hunt for the 22-year-old ahead of the January market.

Aouar also has interest from Real Madrid but is aware that he would receive limited game time in the Spanish capital.

However, Arsenal boss Arteta promised the player a regular role during their earlier talks, which continues to convince him.

As such, the ‘coming weeks’ will reportedly be crucial for Arsenal if they are to land their target. But ‘everything seems to indicate’ that the Gunners will increase their previous bid and reach an agreement.

Aouar could provide a well-needed dose of creativity to the Arsenal side. Indeed, Gunners legend Ian Wright pointed out his former side’s lack of a killer pass ahead of their 1-0 defeat to Leicester.

Previous reports have suggested that Aouar could leave for around £54million.
