Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool tracking £65M-rated Frenchman

A trio of Premier League clubs are monitoring Houssem Aouar's future at Lyon ahead of the next transfer window, claims The Sun.

Aouar has quickly cemented himself as one of France's best talents and has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus in the past.

It has now emerged the 21-year-old is on the radar of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City ahead of the summer transfer window.

All three Premier League clubs are expected to bolster their midfield options for the 2020/21 campaign and Aouar fits the bill as a long-term option.

France's midfield options are so stacked currently that Aouar has only ever been capped at Under-21 level and is valued at £65M.

Aouar, who has been singled out for praise by Pep Guardiola in the past, has been hugely impressive in Lyon's Champions League campaign this season.

The French midfielder has an average rating of 7.73 in the competition this term and played a key role in Lyon's 1-0 win over Juventus in their last-16 first leg encounter.

Aouar registered the assist for Lyon's winner and has played a direct hand in four goals in five appearances overall (one goal, three assists).
