“Ware is counting on him to have a great game against Lorient and lead Lyon to the Champions League next year.”

And football.london reports that the Gunners will now significantly increase their offer for the player after seeing their initial offer rejected last week.
Aouar, a France Under 21 international, has spent his entire career to date at Lyon, making more than 130 appearances for the club.
Arsenal have improved immensely with Arteta, but they certainly need a player who can create chances regularly, especially with Mesut Ozil frozen.
Arsenal have rejected the proposals of Atlético de Madrid and Torino to take Lucas Torreira on loan. Arsenal want to sell the midfielder and keep an interest in Atlético’s Thomas Partey.
