Wenger ready to break Arsenal transfer record again for Thomas Lemar

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, is convinced that Thomas Lemar wants to join the club from Monaco and will go back with a third bid for the player.

Wenger has already seen bids of £30million and £40million turned down by the Ligue 1 champions, but the Gunners are refusing to give up as they believe they can get their man.

The third offer could be up to £45m-plus and would be the second time Arsenal have beaten their old transfer record this window.

They paid £42.5m paid for Mesut Ozil in 2013 and this week, negotiated a £52m deal for Alexandre Lacazette.

Lemar has always been Wenger’s top priority in the wide areas, with Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez seen as a back-up.

It is believed the France winger has already agreed terms with the Premier League side.
