Report: Manchester City Will Face Liverpool Competition for Lyon's Houssem Aouar

Manchester City will reportedly face competition from Premier League rivals Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal to sign Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.

According to L'Equipe (h/t Sport Witness), while City boss Pep Guardiola is a fan of the youngster, so too are the trio of clubs mentioned, with Liverpool noted as having a "true history" with the 20-year-old.

As Tom Coast of Sport Witness relayed, Aouar has spoken to L'Equipe previously about interest from Liverpool earlier in his career.

The playmaker said he opted against joining the Reds, who are said to have approached him before he signed his first professional deal, because it was his "dream" to play for the Ligue 1 side.
