Football.london reports that Liverpool are interested in Lyon star Houssem Aouar

France Football (h/t Football.london) adds that Unai Emery is also keeping tabs on the impressive 20-year-old, while Chelsea and Manchester City have been linked too.

The attacking midfielder, who can play out wide, has five goals from 16 Ligue 1 appearances this season has spoken about his future, and it seems he wants to remain at Lyon for the foreseeable future.

The youngster was interviewed by France Football (h/t Football.london) and spoke about the links to some of Europe’s biggest clubs:

“I hear the rumours, like you. I have ears!

“I have eyes too, to see a few things left and right. The guy who says he doesn’t hear stuff or listen to anything, is not telling the truth. But there’s nothing you can do. All of that doesn’t bother me.

“I’m well protected with my family. It’s nice to hear, but I’m not getting carried away. My feet are firmly on the ground. I’ve only got a good half-season behind me, and I have everything to develop at Lyon.”

The 20-year-old is one of the hottest properties in French football, and it would be great if we could land him soon.
