He is rated at £14million.

Paris-born Ndombele has made 37 appearances, scoring once, to help the Stade Gerland club go fourth in the table and reach the Europa League's last 16.

The 21-year-old has been dubbed one of the French league's most promising talents, and is tipped to break into Les Bleus' senior side.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger raided Lyon last year, paying £52m for striker Alexandre Lacazette.

The Russian side won 3-2 to go through on away goals - and set up a quarter-final against the Gunners.

Ndombele helped Amiens win promotion to the top flight last season. Lyon paid them £2m to borrow the midfielder for a year.
