Arsenal to tip off Liverpool deal for Houssem Aouar

Liverpool are believed to be strong suitors for French side Lyon’s creative player Houssem Aouar after he had an excellent performance for his French side in their Champions League clash against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Although, Houssem Aouar has been previously linked with a number of clubs in the past but that has increased with his Champions League night performance as the battle for his signature gets tougher.

Liverpool were believed to be in pole position to secure the service of the 20-year-old having already shown interest in the summer window which did not work through.
