Liverpool target Houssem Aouar scores incredible goal
Pep Guardiola has already made it clear that he is a big fan of Liverpool transfer target Houssem Aouar. The Lyon midfielder impressed against Manchester City in last season's Champions League group stages.

But Liverpool have already been carrying out extensive checks on the Frenchman.
Aouar first caught their eye when scouts jetted to France to watch Nabil Fekir in action.
Fekir was agonisingly close to becoming a Liverpool player before his move collapsed at the eleventh hour.
The Reds pulled out of the deal due to concerns over the reconstruction of his knee.

Nonetheless, they have continued to watch Aouar in action and his development has left a lasting impression.
Lyon have been drawn the short straw following the termination of the Ligue 1 season.
The club were beginning to hit form following a torrid start to the campaign and were moving towards the European places.
Now they will be without Champions League or Europa League football for next season.
President Jean-Michel Aulas is now reportedly weighing up the sobering prospect of selling two of his best players from Aouar, Moussa Dembele or Memphis Depay.
Aouar is valued at around £44m but Liverpool have put the breaks on all transfer business amid the coronavirus crisis.
