PSwill lose Adil Orchic in a free transfer after a midfielder connected to the Premier League team Arsenal arrives in St. Etienne for the first part of medical treatment.

The source told Goal that the highly acclaimed 17-year-old player and two of his representatives arrived in Forres on Thursday night and conducted a preliminary medical examination with ASSE on Friday to sign the club.

To date, Aouchiche has rejected PSG's attempt to tie him to his first professional contract, and the offensive midfielder explores his options as he prepares to leave the Ligue 1 championship in the summer.

Arsenal had a brief discussion with the player representatives, but did not make any contract offer. At that time, it was considered that the French move was impossible.
