Liverpool are being linked with Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.

Gini Wijnaldum looks increasingly likely to leave Anfield this summer as a free agent, and rumours continue to swirl on how the club will replace him.

The Daily Star says the Reds see Lyon midfielder Aouar as the ideal replacement for Wijnaldum.

However, the report goes on to state that Champions League football will play a major role on where Aouar decides to play next season.

Aouar is also highly regarded at Arsenal in the Premier League.
