Mikel Arteta is on the hunt for a creative attacking midfielder.
The Gunners were linked to the French playmaker since last summer but eventually, they dropped their attention when they signed a deal with Thomas Partey.
The squad needs some creativity in the middle and currently only Mesut Ozil suits that role who is set to leave the club when his contract expires.
The 22-year old midfielder have been in great form this campaign scoring three goals and three assists in 14 appearances.
ESPN football expert Julien Laurens believes Aouar won’t be available in January but might move 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?” Laurens said.
“Do you wait for Aouar or do you go for an Emi Buendia? He would be cheaper, and he’s a slightly different profile, but he knows the culture of the league.
“Then there’s Marcel Sabitzer who is not maybe as creative as Buendia or Aouar as a pure number 10 with technical skills but brings you box-to-box energy and is very versatile.
“But Aouar would be huge in that Arsenal team – he would bring something a bit special.”
