Ayyoub Bouaddi: Arsenal moves into action

The Ayyoub Bouaddi saga is picking up pace. Arsenal are said to be highly interested in signing Lille’s Moroccan midfielder, who is just 18 years old.

According to reports circulating in the English press, the Gunners’ management has already held talks with the player’s representatives. This move puts Arsenal among the frontrunners to try and convince Bouaddi to join them this summer. His performances with Lille and his eye-catching debut at the 2026 World Cup have further boosted his status on the transfer market.

Under contract until 2029, Bouaddi is set to be an expensive acquisition. Lille could demand nearly £50 million to consider a transfer. Arsenal will need to make a compelling case, but the English club seems determined to land one of the most promising young midfielders in European football.
