Arsenal have expressed interest in luring Houssem Aouar away from Lyon, according to L’Equipe.

The highly-rated midfielder continues to see his stock rise and will need a move this summer if he is to take in more European football during the 2020-21 campaign.

The 22-year-old was one of the standout performers during the Ligue 1 side's fairytale run to the Champions League semifinals.

Juventus and Manchester City are also reportedly interested in the homegrown midfielder. 

Following Wednesday's defeat to Bayern Munich, Lyon's sporting director Juninho confirmed a number of players would be sold, prompting further speculation about the futures of Moussa Dembele, Memphis Depay and Aouar.

Aouar made 41 appearances in all competitions last season for the French side, scoring nine times and providing 10 assists.
