At Arsenal, everyone wants to forget the seasons without trophies and the one without Europe as soon as possible. And they will do anything so that it does not happen again.Such ambitions require serious signings. The management of the Gunners thus started the current transfer window quite aggressively – the transfer of Ben White (23) from Brighton is practically agreed, but the fans could be pleasantly surprised by another newcomer during the next week.Manchester City are preparing a new contract for the African star wingerEnglish media are widely announcing that the management of Arsenal could set aside more than 140 million USD (over 15 billion KSH) from their own funds during the next week.Half of that amount, has been calculated for bringing in White while the rest would go for Arsenal’s old wish – Houssem Aouar (23).Arsenal have been keeping an eye on Lyon midfielder for a whole year now. Last summer, they did not want to pay 88.5 million USD, as much as Jean-Michel Aulas (Lyon owner and president) demanded, but due to the Covid crisis, prices have lowered.Also, the French club is aware that this is the last summer during which those interested will not be able to ‘blackmail’ them for the player (Aouar has two more years left on his contract with Lyon). However, the mood of the player is not at the highest level, which is why it all indicates an imminent transfer, according to the same sources.Friendly matches are not about results, you say? Try telling it to frustrated Mikel Arteta!Aouar is allegedly angry with the management of Lyon for allowing Memphis Depay to leave, so he asked to be sold as soon as possible, and earlier in the month he was not in training for full five days.All this shows that Arsenal’s chances are getting better with the price for the 23-year-old creative midfielder getting lower. It is estimated that the north Londoners could get Aouar for less than 83 million USD.It is unrealistic to expect that two such big transfers will be made official during the next week, but it is realistic that they could be completed pretty soon.
