He looked set to be a TOP STAR but now could move to Europa League club
He looked destined for the top of European football, but his career got derailed and now could start a new chaper
Football is about technique, physicality and smarts, but it's also about being at the right place at the right time.

As reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, Houssem Aouar is expected to give his final answer very soon, looking likely to depart from the club where he scored eight and assisted four in 44 matches last season.
