Arsenal or Tottenham signing Houssem Aouar next summer relies on key transfer condition

Arsenal and Tottenham’s transfer pursuit of Houssem Aouar could rely on Lyon failing to qualify for the Champions League after the playmaker revealed that he still dreams of playing in the competition for the Ligue 1 club.
Both Premier League clubs have long been linked with a move for the Frenchman but a deal has never materialised.
Arsenal and Spurs were both interested in signing an attacking midfielder in the summer but passed up the opportunity to sign Aouar.
The Gunners eventually landed Martin Odegaard, despite it initially seeming that their former loanee might remain at Real Madrid. The Norwegian signed in a deal close to £30million.
Spurs signed midfielder Pape Matar Sarr before loaning the 19-year-old back to Metz.
