Arsenal renews interest in signing Ayoub Bouaddi.

Akram Connor, the journalist specialized in transfer news, revealed on his official page on the "X" platform that Arsenal has renewed its efforts to sign young Moroccan international Ayoub Bouaddi, a player for Lille, at the direct request of Spanish coach Mikel Arteta.

Connor explained that the "Gunners" management has taken new steps in recent days to advance the file, given the great admiration the player enjoys within the coaching staff of the London team.

The same source added that Arsenal has shown readiness to complete the deal while keeping Bouaddi on loan at Lille for the entire 2026-2027 season, with a final transfer to the English team in July 2027.

This increasing interest comes after Bouaddi's impressive performances with Lille, in addition to his standout appearances with the Moroccan national team in the 2026 World Cup, making him one of the most sought-after talents in the European transfer market.

Despite the strength of this information, neither Arsenal nor Lille has issued any official announcement confirming a final agreement, leaving the negotiations at an advanced communication stage, according to journalist Akram Connor.
