Arsenal have been urged to remain patient in their pursuit of Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar.
Speaking on the Sky Sports Transfer Talk podcast, ESPN football expert Julien Laurens advised the Gunners not to splash the cash on alternative targets during the January transfer window.
Arsenal were linked with Aouar last summer but eventually turned their attentions to sealing a deal for Thomas Partey.
Laurens says that with Lyon still involved in the Ligue 1 title race Aouar won’t move in January, but he will be available in the summer.
“He still wants to leave and join a bigger league – but can Arsenal really wait until the summer to get that creative player?
