Lyon ace Houssem Aouar says he chose to stay this season because of sporting director Juninho.
Despite Arsenal making two offers for him this summer, Aouar never forced through an exit from his end.
He explained, "I talked a lot with Juninho.
"He shows me his confidence every day. So it's a real pleasure to work with him on a daily basis.
"And inevitably to stay a season or more here with Juni, it is an immense pride."
