Arsenal's hopes of landing midfielder Houssem Aouar from Lyon are set to take a boost, with the French side looking likely to have found a potential replacement according to reports.
Aouar has been linked with a potential £45million swoop to the Emirates Stadium but Arsenal and Lyon have been unable to agree a fee.
However according to L'Equipe, Lucas Paqueta could be on his way to the French side from AC Milan, which could pave the way for Aouar to complete a Premier League move.

The report claims Paqueta is set to complete his transfer in the next few days after the Italian giants accepted an £18m bid for the Brazilian, with Milan due a percentage of any future sell-on fee.
