Real Madrid wants him, Paris Saint-Germain is watching his position, Manchester City wants to sign him, Chelsea and Liverpool have targeted him earlier, and Arsenal are fighting to try to win his services, so Hossam Awar, the Frenchman of Algerian origins, has become the most prominent name in the current transfer period, after impressive levels he presented in a shirt. Lyon, the French team.
The 22-year-old Awar, who grew up at Lyon academy from a young age, quickly became one of the best midfielders in the world, and was one of the most prominent contributors to the team’s qualification for the Champions League semi-finals, after a heroic career that surpassed Juventus, the Italian and Manchester City. .
The young player began his professional career three years ago, and participated in the first team Lyon shirt before he was over 18 years old, and was one of the most prominent stars of the French under-21 team, and since the start of the 2017/2018 season, he has become the main pillar in Lyon’s midfield, and the French team Maestro who participated Regularly in European competitions during the past years.
But what makes Houssam Awar so desirable by Europe’s leaders? The answer is simply, because he is a “complete” midfielder who has demonstrated during his career in recent years great skill and exceptional ability in the player’s industry center, and also performs defensive roles distinctly.
Awar is mainly involved in the position of an outspoken midfielder, but he is good at playing in the position of a defensive midfielder, and his distinctive skill gives him the ability to play in the position of the left wing, and in general, the French midfielder tends to the left front in midfield, thanks to his mastery of playing with the foot Right-hand side, next to his main roles deep in the field
Awar’s remarkable skill, “his successful dribbling averaged 4.4 / matches in the current version of the Champions League” made many liken him to Andres Iniesta, the former Barcelona star, and the young French star was already a target to succeed the “painter” in the Catalan club, before hiring Frenkie de Jong from the ranks of Ajax. Amsterdam Dutch.
According to the “Opta” network specialized in football statistics, only Kylian Mbappe, the star of the French Paris Saint-Germain team and the Algerian, Riad Mehrez, winger of the Manchester City team, did not make more goals than Hossam Aouar in the last two editions of the Champions League.
Awar won a special praise from the Catalan coach Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City coach, after the distinguished levels he presented during the quarter-final match, which saw his creation of Lyon’s second goal in the confrontation that ended with the French team winning three goals against a goal, after a wonderful pass by striker Moussa Dembele. .
Awar is also one of the most prominent midfielders who are able to cause major problems to the defenses of the opponents, when he receives the ball between the lines, as he has the ability to control the ball and rotate with distinction, and direct towards the goal, which is very close to Iniesta’s style.
The young midfielder also plays a very important role in terms of defensive assignments, by pressing the right back of the opposing team, and his capabilities give his coaches enough flexibility to use him in different positions, as he previously played as a left midfielder in the 3-5-2 manner.
Awar’s defensive numbers are very acceptable although his defensive tasks are not essential in his roles, as he enjoyed an average of 1.8 / match in successful tackles in the last season of the Champions League.
However, despite the strong desire that controls many major European teams to contract with Awar, his transfer deal appears to be very complicated, in light of the economic crisis that hit many major European clubs after the outbreak of the new Corona virus, and it is expected that he will not be less in return for a transfer. Awar for 50 million euros.
