Houssem Aouar has accepted Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas decision to take him off the market.

Aulas has ruled out selling the midfielder before Monday's transfer deadline, despite Arsenal's push to sign the youngster.

RMC says Aouar has accepted the call, conceding it was too late in the window to leave OL.

The midfielder has come right through the system at OL and was reluctant to leave the club without enough time to find a replacement.

Arsenal failed with two offers for Aouar over the past month.

A source revealed, “Aouar did not want to get the club into trouble in the final phase of the transfer market. He also wants to participate in the European Championship next summer and a transfer to a new club would entail a great risk. He also wants to help Olympique Lyon return to Europe."
