Arsenal confirmed the signing of Alexandre Lacazette this evening, but they aren’t willing to take their time on negotiations this summer.
According to a report from the Evening Standard, the Gunners are ready to up their efforts to prise Thomas Lemar away from AS Monaco’s grasp this summer.
Lemar enjoyed a hugely successful campaign last term, breaking through for Monaco and establishing himself as one of Leonardo Jardim’s key players.
His performances off either wing helped Monaco to the Ligue 1 title and after such an impressive campaign, top European clubs are interested in his services.
The Gunners are said to have made Lemar their next top target, but Monaco will be a tough nut to crack. It’s claimed that while Arsenal are prepared to offer up £30m for the France international, the reigning French champions will demand more than double that.
Riyad Mahrez is claimed by the Evening Standard to be Arsenal’s backup plan if they cannot land Lemar this summer. -
