Monaco reject Arsenal’s £30.7 million bid

The Gunners were confident of signing the young Frenchman.

Arsenal have been told by French champions Monaco that Thomas Lemar is not for sale after a £30.7 million bid was flatly rejected.

Arsene Wenger is keen on signing Monaco star Thomas Lemar, but his chances of sealing the deal have been seriously dented after the French club rejected the Gunners’ £30.7 million bid for the winger.

Also a Spurs target, Arsenal were the first to make a move for the 21-year-old and, despite the player’s desire to work alongside Wenger, Monaco’s vice-president Vadim Vasilyev is not prepared to negotiate.

Lemar has three more years on his contract after he was signed from Caen in 2015, and the reigning French champions will try to avoid more stars exiting the club after Bernardo Silva left for City in a deal that could be worth up to £60 million.
