According to Football Insider, Arsenal have stepped up their attempts to sign James Maddison this summer. But it appears their player plus cash deal offer for the talented midfielder has been rejected by Leicester City. 8) Houssem Aouar hoping for Arsenal offer According to The Sun, Houssem Aouar’s camp are surprised by Arsenal’s pursuit of James Maddison instead of the Frenchman. They hope the club fails in their pursuit of the Leicester City star and come back to sign the Lyon playmaker before the transfer window deadline. Arsenal’s interest in Houssem Aouar stretches back to last summer when the North London side saw an ambitious £40 million offer rejected by Lyon in the closing stages of the window. The Premier League side then chose to sign Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid, although there were whispers of re-igniting their interest again in this window. #Arsenal #Afc #Transfer #arsenal #arsenal FC #arsenal News #arsenal Latest News #arsenal News Today #arsenal Transfer News arsenal Latest transfer news latest Arsenal News August 2021 Latest Arsenal News August #Leicester City #Lyon #Chelsea #Inter Milan Mikel Arteta Lautaro Martinez Tammy Abraham Houssem Aouar James Maddison Matthew Hoppe Joe Willock Granit Xhaka Reiss Nelson Premier League Football Soccer Sport England
