Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas insists midfielder Houssem Aouar and attacker Moussa Dembele will not leave in January.

Both players are being linked with moves away from the club.

Neither got the big summer move they wanted, but the rumours will not go away.

Arsenal are linked with Aouar, while West Ham United want Dembele. But Aulas insisted the duo, and Memphis Depay, are not going anywhere midseason.

"Not only Memphis but also Houssem Aouar and Moussa Dembele (are attracting attention)," Aulas told RMC Sport.

"From the start, I told you they will not leave because, in a year when we were unfairly deprived of European football, we have to make a success of the season.

"So (they) will stay."
