Breaking: Arsenal prepare £39.3m bid for French wonderkid Revealed

By Akpo ESCO

Arsenal are the ‘most likely’ bidders for Lille midfield prodigy Ayyoub Bouaddi, according to a French reporter

Fabrizio Romano also confirming their interest amid competition from Chelsea and others top clubs 

Bouaddi has established himself in the Lille first team since making his debut two years ago and is now a regular sight in their midfield, despite still only being 18 years old. Naturally, with that kind of impact, he’s been turning heads and generating interest from other clubs.

On Friday, Lille tied Bouaddi down to a new contract, extending its expiry date from 2027 to 2029. But that appears to be of little significance to suitors like Arsenal.

Arsenal are leading the race for Bouaddi and are ‘prepared’ to make an offer in the January transfer window.

Andrea Berta is supposedly in contact with Bouaddi’s representatives and wants to get ahead of the competition, including from Chelsea.
