Houssem Aouar: the perfect signing to complete our midfield

*thread*

As we all know David will be leaving the club when this season ends, which obviously will leave a huge void in the team. Of course we've got our young boy Phil Foden, who can perfectly take his place but our midfield would be very limited.

Aouar's main position is left centre mid (David's) but he can play pretty much everywhere in midfield, i've even seen him play as a left winger. Aouar would not only compete with Foden for a spot in the starting XI, but he would also allow KDB to rest.

Rotation is key in this team and having Aouar in the squad would help massively.

He is a fantastic dribbler and it's very difficult to take the ball off of him. He is good at recoveries and intercepting passes and has good vision.

From what i've seen with Lyon, when playing as an 8, he tends to drop to the left wing to help in attack, something Silva always does.

Houssem has been one of Lyon's most important players and probably one of the few positives they had this season.

This season for Lyon:

Ligue 1
25 games
3 goals
3 assists

UCL
5 games
1 goal
3 assists

Coupe de France
4 games
3 goals

Coupe se la Ligue
3 games
2 goals
1 assist

He's got a contract with Lyon until 2023 but with the Ligue 1 season finished and OL with no European football for next season, it looks likely their stars will look for a move. His current market valuation is €50M.
