๐จ Arsenal have been actively working on the signing of Ayyoub Bouaddi (18) for several months. The club have clearly indicated to Bouaddi that he would be considered an important player in their project, with the player interested in the potential move.
Lille want around โฌ70m for Bouaddi, while Arsenal believe their excellent relationship with club president Olivier Letang could facilitate negotiations. Another element could be, unlike PSG - who are also interested in Bouaddi - Arsenal are NOT a direct competitor in their league.
Arsenal have already scheduled further talks with Bouaddi after the World Cup & Mikel Arteta is expected to have a greater involvement in those discussions. The deal could accelerate quickly after the tournament. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ฒ๐ฆ [
