'I’m happy to stay at Lyon' - Aouar positive following failed Arsenal deal

Houssem Aouar has said that he is happy to stay with Lyon, despite a potential summer move to Arsenal disappearing.

The France international midfielder has long been associated with several of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, but it was Arsenal who emerged as sole candidates to sign him late in the summer window.

The Gunners, however, could not match OL’s demands and the player will remain with the Ligue 1 side until January at the earliest. Aouar, however, is not unhappy about seeing such a deal breakdown.
