Arsenal Eyes Young Talent Ayyoub Bouaddi

Arsenal is actively seeking to secure a deal for Lille’s promising midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.

Arsenal’s Winter Plans

According to reports from RMC, Arsenal has already engaged with Bouaddi’s representatives to arrange a transfer during the winter window for approximately €45 million.

Competition from Major Clubs

Chelsea, along with other Premier League contenders, is also in the race for Bouaddi’s signature. Meanwhile, PSG is keeping an eye on the player’s situation, though they have yet to make an official bid.

Rising Star at Lille

At just 18 years old, the midfielder has emerged as a standout performer for Lille this season, featuring in 18 matches. His exceptional performance has made him one of the most coveted talents in the football market.

Lille, eager to retain their young star, has recently signed him to a contract extension that lasts until 2029. The club is signaling that they will only entertain offers exceeding €50 million for a sale, which they prefer to hold off until the summer.

International Interest

There is also a competitive interest from France’s Under-21 squad and the Moroccan national team, both of which are vying to secure the talented Franco-Moroccan player.
