Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has confirmed that Arsenal made contact with his agent before reiterating his desire to play in the Premier League.

The Gunners have already bolstered their midfield options with the signings of Albert Sambi Lokonga and Martin Odegaard, while Granit Xhaka has also signed a new deal with the club.

However, Arsenal were rumoured to have been interested in a deal for Guimaraes this summer, and the 23-year-old has revealed that there was dialogue between the two parties before he made the choice to stay put for now.

Speaking to Globo, Guimaraes said: "Arsenal approached my agent, but there was no offer. My aim, and I made it clear to Juninho, is to win a title with Lyon.

"The fans have not had one for a long time. We have the Coupe de France, the Europa League and the league. It is difficult with the level that PSG are at, but anything can happen.

"My aim is to win a title here, but I have never hidden my desire to play in the Premier League."

The gold medal-winning Olympian has started three of his side's four games in the 2021-22 Ligue 1 season and has registered three goals and two assists in 49 matches for Les Gones.
