Houssem

The Red Devils were offered several options on Deadline Day, including Isco, Saul Niguez, Houssem Aouar, and Yannick Carrasco, accoridng to Sky Sports, but the side ultimately decided to pursue Sabitzer as the works went on throughout the night.

Arsenal are said to be looking for a creative midfielder, with RB Salzburg's Dominik Szoboszlai and Olympique Lyonnais' Houssem Aouar among the options being considered, while Arteta would also like to improve his defensive options.

Arteta would love to add at least one of Thomas Partey’s control and Houssem Aouar’s verve to a lineup that struggles to take the initiative against teams that invite pressure in the way the Blades did.

Houssem Aouar has so far been impressive for Lyon this season scoring four goals and an assist already for the French giants.

Interest in Houssem Aouar could change the front four and push out Alexandre Lacazette.

Lyon’s forward Houssem Aouar arrives for a training session at the Stade de France stadium in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, on July 30, 2020.

Mikel Arteta insists are still active in the transfer market and will look to strengthen their squad further, though refused to discuss specific targets such as Lyon’s Houssem Aouar.
