Despite rejecting an advance from Everton, Rachid Ghezzal’s future as a Lyon player still hasn’t been cleared up.
The 24-year-old now has a decision to make: either sign a contract extension with the Ligue 1 club or run down his contract until the end of next season and leave on a free.
Well, according to Le10 Sport on Thursday, Arsenal haven’t made any move for the winger as of this time (which isn’t that much of a surprise), even if they could be keeping an eye on his development this season.
Considering Arsène Wenger’s priorities at this moment in time are a striker and a centre-back, a new creative player might have to wait for a bit.
Maybe January? If he hasn’t signed a new contract by then, he’ll be available for nothing, and we all know how much Arsenal love a good bargain.
It’s also very possible Arsenal’s name was used to put pressure on Lyon to up their contract offer. It wouldn’t be the first time.
