Football transfer rumours: Liverpool or Barcelona to land Houssem Aouar?
Today’s rumours are in for the long haul
You might think Jack Wilshere is the most overrated player on the planet. You might think he was the best 17-year-old you have ever seen play in the flesh, after Kieron Dyer, but accept that injuries have taken that crucial extra few per cent away. You might just be glad we’re talking about something other than snow and VAR. What you might not know, though, is that he is apparently on the brink of quitting Arsenal, with contract negotiations not going well and the two parties a long way apart – a pay cut has been mooted by the club. He’ll cast all that aside for 90 minutes if the game with Manchester City beats the chill on Thursday night, but the former boy wonder’s days at the Emirates are beginning to look numbered and clubs across the continent are on red alert.
Meanwhile, a starlet from France is causing Liverpool and Barcelona to flutter their eyes admiringly. Their objet d’amour is Houssem Aouar of Lyon, and the Anfield club will be hoping to steal a tiny dose of revenge for the departure of Philippe Coutinho.
