Arsenal are working hard on closing a deal for Houssem Aouar from Lyon, per The Sun.

The Gunners have drawn up a list of midfielders they want to sign to add greater creativity to the team.

Aouar is at the top of that list, along with Edouardo Camavinga from Rennes and Renato Sanches of Lille.

They were also linked to Aouar last summer, but a transfer did not materialise.

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are also linked to Camavinga, who has a year left on his Rennes deal.

Another target for Arsenal is Albert Sambi Lokonga from Anderlecht.

Lokonga, 21, is reportedly on the verge of moving to the Emirates as the two clubs near an agreement.
