"Arsenal's radar" is monitoring Bouadi's performance.

Arsenal Football Club has entered an advanced stage of monitoring young Moroccan international Ayoub Bouaddi, a player for Lille in France, placing him among their priorities to strengthen the midfield in the upcoming period, given the remarkable performances he has been delivering with his team.

English media reports, including "Sky Sports," indicate that the "Gunners" management has been following Bouaddi's development for a long time, having started to build communication bridges with his representatives since the beginning of 2025, in an effort to gain an advantage in the race to sign him before other clubs officially enter the fray.

The Moroccan midfielder is attracting increasing interest from top European clubs, especially Paris Saint-Germain, which sees him as one of the most prominent talents capable of supporting its future project. The same sources confirm that Bouaddi does not hide his admiration for the idea of moving to one of the major clubs in the coming years.

Meanwhile, Arsenal continues to work on convincing the player of its sporting project, relying on the vision led by Spanish coach Mikel Arteta, who considers Bouaddi to be one of the names capable of adding value to the team in the medium and long term.

The Moroccan player has shown interest in experiencing the Premier League, which has encouraged the London club's officials to intensify their efforts in recent weeks, with plans for new meetings after the upcoming international fixtures to continue discussing the details of the deal.

For its part, Lille is holding on to its young gem, as estimates suggest that the French management will not consider any offer below 80 million euros, a figure that reflects the significant technical value Bouaddi has come to represent within the team.

Arsenal is banking on its good relationship with Lille's officials to facilitate negotiations, and it believes that the player's move to England may be a more acceptable option for the French club compared to a transfer to one of its direct competitors in Ligue 1, which could give it an advantage in the race to secure the services of the Moroccan talent.
