Liverpool have thrown their hat in the ring for Lyon’s wantaway star Houssem Aouar who is eyed up by a host of clubs across the continent this summer.
The French midfielder is all set to call it quits at Lyon ahead of the next season and his long-standing suitors Arsenal are now joined by Liverpool in the chase for landing his signature.
It is believed that Aouar’s reluctance to sign an extension with his boyhood club Lyon has forced the Ligue 1 giants to be open to selling him this summer in order to avoid him leaving for nothing next year when his contract expires.
According to a report from RMC Sport, Lyon are ready to entertain offers for their midfield maestro which would be of of great interest to Jurgen Klopp who has long been on the hunt for a quality signing to bolster his midfield roster.
Spanish top flight duo Real Betis and Real Sociedad are also right in the mix for Aouar but could find it difficult to prize him away should interest from the Premier League be concrete enough to table a bid in the coming weeks.
