AC Milan could be given a big boost in their hopes of offloading Lucas Paqueta as Arsenal may be set to give Lyon the funds they need.

French channel Telefoot (via MilanNews) says Arsenal are ready to offer €40m to secure Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar. Should the playmaker depart the Ligue 1 giants, sporting director
Juninho could then move to land Lucas Paquetà from Milan, as they would then have the economic availability to be able to complete the operation.
