Arsenal in contact with Bouaddi despite new Lille deal

Arsenal are pursuing a deal for Lille prospect Ayyoub Bouaddi.

RMC saus Arsenal have already contacted his representatives to finalise a winter transfer for around €45m.

Chelsea and several Premier League rivals are also pushing for his signature, while PSG are monitoring the situation without making a firm offer.

The midfielder, a breakout star for Lille at just 18 years old, has made 18 appearances this season and is one of the most sought-after players on the market.

Lille, determined to keep him, have just extended his contract until 2029 and will only consider a summer sale for more than €50m.

France's Under-21 team and Morocco are also vying to secure the Franco-Moroccan gem.
