Both Everton and Arsenal have received a boost in their hopes of signing Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina as he has rejected the chance to join Lyon, according to Goal.
The 23-year-old Lemina is keen to leave Italy in order to play first team football on a more regular basis and Juventus are said to be open to listening to offers over a transfer.
The Gabon international has indicated that he does not wish to return to the French Ligue 1, which means that a move to England is very much on the cards.
In addition to the Toffees and Gunners, Lemina has also been linked with a move to Watford. He is still only 23 and has a lot of time to develop as a player.
The youngster will be a good addition to both the Arsenal and Everton sides. In the end, whoever wants the midfielder more will probably end up snapping him up.
