Even though most Arsenal fans were left disappointed with the amount of transfer action completed by the club during the summer transfer window, and perhaps dismayed by the idea that Arsene Wenger is still lagging behind all of his Premier League rivals with his transfer policy, it appears that the boss did try to smash the transfer record.
From the many Arsenal transfer rumours both before and after the deadline day, it would appear that Wenger was ready to spend getting on for double the price he paid to bring Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon in order to sign the bright young France international winger Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco.
There were reports that Lemar turned down the move but these have since been refuted and it was his club that stopped the transfer happening, but it is expected that Arsenal will try again in January and the chances of us getting our man this time have had a major boost with the news from the German media that Bayern Munich have ended their interest due to the amount of money involved.
That seems to leave just Liverpool in the way and with Wenger having actually made a profit this summer will we now be able to outbid the Anfield mob and bring Lemar to north London_
