Fabrizio Romano says Arteta and Arsenal board are ‘in love with Aouar’ and predicts Arsenal will try to sign the player this transfer window. : Gunners

If we get ceballos back as arteta has stated we are trying to do, would this be a midfield 3 of xhaka ceballos and Aouar?

If we somehow get partey as well I guess that would replace xhaka, but I can’t see how we can acquire all 3 of these players.

Be nice if we could get some money for Guendouzi and Torriera but I think that is proving difficult. Also I am pretty sure Guendouzi will consider himself too big to go to lyon (to be clear, I don’t think he’s too big for lyon but from what we’ve seen of Guendouzi I suspect he’d find this move to be beneath him) so even if they want him I find a swap + cash for Aouar to be a difficult move to happen.
