Roma have confirmed that midfielder Houssem Aouar, who was a target for several Premier League teams, will sign with the Serie A club on July 1.
The 24-year-old was reportedly interested in Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest last summer, but he finally chose to stay at Lyon, where he had previously played as a young player before joining the senior team in 2017.
It comes after rumors that the midfielder was wanted by both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the summer of 2021; however, Martin Odegaard was signed by the Gunners, and the Spurs move never happened.
Aouar, who earlier this year switched his national allegiance from France to Algeria, will join the Serie A team at the start of next month and sign a five-year contract with the Giallorossi, Roma has now revealed.
