Arsenal chiefs confident next offer will land Monaco wing ace Lemar

Arsenal management are convinced they'll clinch the signing of AS Monaco winger Thomas Lemar.

The Daily Mail says the Gunners have had bids of £30million and £40m for the winger rejected by Monaco so far this summer.

Emirates officials believe that their next offer, which is thought to be more than £45m, will be enough for the 21–year-old.

Speaking on Tuesday from the club's tour of Australia, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed that Lemar was on his radar.

"He's a player that we follow yes, we look at," the Frenchman said of a player who has won five caps for France.

"We are looking at more signings. But there's nothing really concrete about any signings."
