Houssem Aouar is close to signing with Nottingham Forest. This information is provided by Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Premier League newcomer is extremely active on the transfer market. Nottingham has already recruited fourteen new players from this window.
However, the authorities do not intend to stop there. In the coming days, the club intends to finalize the transfers of Neal Maupay from Brighton and Houssem Aouar.
The midfielder has spent his entire career in the colors of Olympique Lyonnais. It has long been associated with a move to the Premier League, but usually the media tried it on to slightly higher-end clubs.
Arsenal, for example, were interested in Aouar at one time. Now the 24-year-old is expected to join the ranks of Nottingham Forest.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the English are very close to reaching a full agreement with Lyon. The home club Aouara will probably agree to sell it, realizing the uninteresting contractual situation. The Frenchman’s contract is only valid for one more year, so he could leave OL for free after this season.
Aouar has played 215 games for Lyon. He recorded 40 goals and 35 assists in them.
