Lyon are ready to sell Houssem Aouar this summer.
L'Equipe says Arsenal have been given a major boost in their quest to sign Aouar with the Lyon midfielder available for £25million.
The Gunners were heavily linked with a move to sign the 22-year-old last summer, but were priced out of a deal to bring the Frenchman to the Emirates.
It was claimed that the playmaker agreed to link up with the North Londoners who failed to stump up the £54m needed to secure his services.
Aouar's price tag this summer is over half of what Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas was previously demanding.
They state that an offer between £22m-£25m could be enough to prise the player away from the Groupama Stadium.
