Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang admits he'd welcome the signing of Houssem Aouar.

The Gunners and Lyon are haggling over a price for the French midfielder, with two offers already proposed and rejected this summer.

Aubameyang is well aware of Arsenal's pursuit and speaking to Canal+ declared Aouar would be welcome.

"Ah bah of course, of course we are in favor, I'm not going to hide it. Even if he's a Lyonnais!" laughed Aubameyang.

Aubayemang is a former St Etienne player, with ASSE being big rivals of Lyon.
