Arsenal aren’t the only ones keen on the 17-year-old, however, with the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona also monitoring his progress.
Said player has already made 36 competitive appearances for his club and has even been playing regularly in the Champions League.
The 17-year-old central midfielder is the latest prospect to come through Lille’s ranks and he has made a huge impact with the Ligue 1 outfit.
In 2023, at the age of 16 years and 3 days, he became the youngest player ever to play in a European club competition game.
However, it is this season that has seen Bouaddi take advantage of injuries and suspensions and has since become a regular in the side, despite the wealth of talent including England star Angel Gomes.
Lille, who are set to lose Jonathan David and Angel Gomes, are looking to tie down Bouaddi to a new long-term deal.
Bouaddi does not turn 18 until October, so he could not join a Premier League club this summer.
In theory, however, he would be able to move within the European Union, so he could move to Spain, Germany or Italy.
