‘I try not to pollute my mind’ – Chelsea target Aouar not thinking about Lyon exit

Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar says he is not thinking about leaving the Ligue 1 side.

The 21-year-old midfielder has been hotly linked with a move away from the club in the summer. He starred in their Champions League last-16 first-leg victory over Juventus on Wednesday, creating Lucas Tousart’s winning goal.

Having previously shone at the highest level, a raft of clubs are interested in his signature, with Real Madrid, Manchester City, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain on a list that seemed to be headed by Chelsea in January.
