Corentin Tolisso 'dreams' of Arsenal transfer and says Premier League suits him

Corentin Tolisso has started the season positively

Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso "dreams" of playing for Arsenal and thinks his style is well suited to the Premier League.

The 22-year-old has made 93 appearances for Lyon in Ligue 1 after breaking into the first team in 2013.

It has been reported that a number of top clubs in Europe have been tracking his progress and he is quoted in France Football as saying: "Many clubs make me dream like Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and England with teams like Arsenal.

"I like the Premier League and I think I am well suited to it. It is the league that offers the most competition, it is the most open, the most hard-fought and the most spectacular."

Tolisso came close to joining Napoli in the summer but says he has no regrets over staying at Lyon.

"Once I finally said 'no' [to Napoli], my priority has been to a great season with OL," he said. "I really made a choice of the heart, a sporting choice.

"I knew there were advantages to go there for OL, for me it is not about the money. "
