PSG is set to lose Adil Aouchiche after the midfielder, who was linked to Premier League side Arsenal, arrived at Saint-Etienne for the first part of a medical.
Sources have told Goal that the highly regarded 17-year-old arrived with two of his representatives in Forez on Thursday evening and was subjected to preliminary medical tests with ASSE on Friday to sign for the club.
as Aouchiche prepares to leave the Ligue 1 champions in the summer, he has so far resisted PSG ‘s attempts to tie him to his first professional contract, with the attacking midfielder exploring his options.
Arsenal had brief discussions with representatives of the player but no contract offer was made and at the time a move for the Frenchman was not seen as possible.
Then it’s Saint-Etienne who seems to be at the front of the line to secure the teenager’s contract, who scored nine goals in five games at the 2019 Under-17 European Championship to finish as the highest goal scorer in the competition.
to continue negotiations, Club officials are expected to arrive later on Friday, with the Ligue 1 side being aware that Aouchiche is attracting interest from elsewhere.
In August 2019, Aouchiche made his PSG debut, starting the 2-0 victory over Metz before being substituted in the 65th minute, with both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar absent from the squad.

PSG had been hoping, as Goal reported back in December, to tie Aouchiche to a professional deal, with his family keen to keep him in Paris to further develop.
