Arsenal lunch new bid for Lyon midfielder Aouar

Arsenal are returning with a new bid for Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.

Le 10 Sport says Aouar is a priority target for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta - and he has the support of the board.

However, Arteta has also been warned Arsenal will not pay over the odds for the midfield schemer.

A first bid earlier this summer - which included Matteo Guendouzi - was rejected by OL, but Arsenal's pursuit won't end there.

For his part, Aouar is keen on the move and has agreed an outline over a contract with Gunners reps.
