Tottenham 'hold talks with Houssem Aouar's agents' after Spurs enquire about Lyon midfielder's availability as Nuno Espirito Santo looks to add new midfielder alongside new £14.5m purchase Pape Sarr

Tottenham have held informal talks with Houssem Aouar's representatives over a potential move for the Lyon midfielder this summer, according to reports.

Sportsmail revealed this week that Spurs have made an enquiry to Lyon about the availability of their 23-year-old midfielder, who has scored 17 goals in the past two years for the French club.

Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the French midfielder and made several bids for him last summer, but a move never materialised as the Gunners went to sign Thomas Partey for £45million instead.
