The longest Arsenal transfer saga of this summer, other than the Alexis Sanchez stalemate, is the never-ending stories of second, third and fourth bids from Arsenal for Monaco’s Thomas Lemar. The 21 year-old is touted as a superstar of the future after a truly fantastic season with the French Champions.
The endless delays have been rumoured to be taking so long while Monaco were trying to bring in a suitable replacement, and that target was said to be the Rennes striker Adama Diakhaby. So it is no wonder that Arsenal fans were excited to read this announcement from Monaco on their Twitter page…..
The 21 year-old has signed a five year contract with the Ligue 1 club, and he was quoted on the Monaco official website as saying: “I’m very happy to join Monaco, a club with a very ambitious sporting project who field a lot of young players.
“I’m here to display my talent and to progress as much as possible.”
So does this mean we can expect Arsenal to be announcing the arrival of Thomas Lemar very shortly?
