Arsenal have apparently lodged a British record bid to bring Thomas Lemar to the Emirates.
The Monaco youngster emerged as one of the top talents in Europe last season, and has been high on Arsene Wenger’s wishlist all summer.
The Frenchman is believed to be keen on completing the switch to North-London, and may now get his wish with Arsenal apparently lodging a huge offer for his signature.
Manchester City are believed to have upped their offer to £60 Million for Alexis Sanchez, and they are believed to have stalled on accepting that deal unless they can reignite their move to bring in Lemar.
Liverpool were also believed to be keen on Lemar, but failed to convince Monaco to sell, and the Gunners are now confident they can pay the necessary fee to tempt the French champions to sell.
It has been a tough month for Arsenal fans since celebrating the Community Shield win over Chelsea, and our squad has looked less and less strong as the month has run on, but a deal to bring Lemar to the club could bring some excitement back.
Would Lemar give us a huge boost after a tough month? Would Arsenal really pay £90 Million for a player?
