Arsenal have offered Lyon €35 million for star midfielder Houssem Aouar, sources have told ESPN.

Sources add that while the French club is likely to reject this first bid, Arsenal are expected come back with an improved amount.

Initially, Lyon wanted €60m for their playmaker. But with the coronavirus pandemic changing clubs' financial situations, they have lowered their expectations with a fee of €40m or €45m likely to be enough. ( @espn)

Arteta on if Arsenal will sign more players this window: "We are still open to improve our team. We are looking for different options depending on what happens with some of our players here so we are getting prepared just in case we need to do something."

Arteta on the Jorginho links: "Sorry, but I cannot talk about players that play for a different team. [Discussing] their qualities is not appropriate from my side."

Mikel Arteta on whether Lucas Torreira will stay at Arsenal or leave: “We don’t have any updates on Lucas or any other player at the moment.”

Arteta on Nicolas Pépé: 'I think he's come a long way. We know what the club paid for him when he joined and that was obviously an extra pressure but he's a player who's had to adapt, it's a different style.'

Arteta on Nicolas Pépé: 'He has a really good attitude. We can see he has developed in a lot of phases of his game. He's very settled here, and I'm very positive that we're going to have him for many years and that he can perform at a really high level consistently.'

Arteta on Gabriel and Pépé: 'I think it's always nice for them to have some compatriots next to them, it makes things a lot easier in the first few months when they cannot speak the language. They know each other & they've spent some time together now. It's a positive thing.'

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked to address his side’s rumoured summer interest in Thiago Alcântara.

“We don’t discuss the things that we have to try to do in the market,” said Arteta.

Arteta on Thiago Alcântara: “I really like him from my time I was in Barcelona. He plays with incredible personality, great talent, very special qualities to play in midfield. He’s a great signing for Liverpool.”

Jurgen Klopp on Arteta's Arsenal: ‘They defend in a 5-4-1 and when you have quality players that makes it tricky for the opposition, then with the speed they in the counter-attack can cause you trouble. I can say a lot of positive things about Arsenal.

Jurgen Klopp on Mikel Arteta: ‘Mikel Arteta has shown in a short period of time he seems an exceptional football manager. The structure of his team is exceptional, the balance of the team is really good. He has changed the whole mood of the club.’

Jamie Carragher on Arsenal: "There's no doubt Arsenal are on the way back under Mikel Arteta. I think he's been a brilliant signing. I'm so impressed with how he's managing that squad"

Jamie Carragher "What he's done with the squad he's inherited is fantastic. To win the FA Cup, beat Liverpool a couple of times in the league and Community Shield"

Jamie Carragher: "He's made Arsenal, would you believe - look defensively strong at the moment. That can only be attributed to his organisation rather than the individual players"
