Arsenal have made a new attempt for Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.
L'Equipe says Arsenal have had a cash-plus-player bid rejected by Lyon for Aouar.
The Gunners submitted an offer to the Ligue 1 side last week which included midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.
Arsenal sporting director Edu is understood to be in charge of negotiations with the French club, but the Gunners could face stiff competition to sign the 22-year-old.
The report also outlines that Lyon rejected a deal involving Guendouzi because they do not see a midfield addition as necessary this summer.
