The Gunners have been tracking Aouar for several years and pushed hard to sign him last summer, only to be rebuffed by Lyon’s £50million asking price. But the French side’s finances have been hit by the coronavirus pandemic and Aouar is now firmly up for sale with a host of clubs looking to battle Arsenal to sign him. Instead, Spurs have allegedly contacted Lyon and offered them the chance to re-sign Ndombele just two years after he left the French side. ESPN claim talks between Lyon and Spurs over Aouar are ongoing and the onus is now on Arsenal to up their offer if they want to land the playmaker.
