Lyons President when asked if Aouar will be joining Arsenal this summer:
"No I don't think so, no offer yet. It seems that Arsenal don't want to, or can't invest the price for Houssem, who is our best player. ".

He played the same game during the Lacazette transfer saga too.

Exactly the same with lacazette. I do believe we will get him this window.

He did indeed, we shall see. It would excite me of course but I still think a holding midfielder of real quality is so much more important right now.
Every team has a player that brings an element of strength, solidity and composure to the midfield and we don't have that yet, not of real class anyway.

Hope you're right.

So far Mikel has shown both the awareness and the ambition to tackle our most notorious of weakness, our awful inability to limit the oppositions scoring chances.
Both previous managers preferred to pretty much ignore the problems and concentrate on our strengths by adopting a win 5 3 philosophy.
Mikel has already set about solving the CBs problem and I'm sure he's working on the DM problem too, whether that's getting someone in if possible or trying to resolve with what he already has available to him on a temporary or permanent basis.
