AS Monaco winger Thomas Lemar might be available for a transfer this summer. According to recent reports, the French club will entertain offers for the French winger when the transfer window opens in the summer. It is understood that the Ligue 1 outfit will consider bids for the 22-year-old this summer. The French international has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal and Liverpool. He was also a subject of a last-ditch bid from the North Londoners during the January transfer period but a move failed to materialise as Monaco refused to do business.
However, the scenario has changed now with Monaco set to let him leave this summer if the right offer comes in for the player. Lemar has made 33 appearances for AS Monaco this season, finding the back of the net 3 times while also providing 8 assists in all competitions. He has put in some sensational performances for the French side in the last few seasons which has not gone unnoticed.
Lemar is exactly the kind of player that Arsenal are looking for! The possibility of having someone of his talents link up with Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a mouth-watering prospect for any Arsenal supporter. Only time will tell whether Arsene Wenger’s side will launch a big-money bid for the French international in this off-season.
The Gunners are currently sitting in the 6th spot in the English top-flight table with a tally of 54 points in 33 league matches. They recently suffered a bitter defeat away at St. James Park in their last league outing which highlights the need for some quality additions this summer.
The acquisition of Lemar will strengthen the Gunners attack as they look to close the gap between themselves and the Premier League’s top 4 clubs going into the new campaign. Arsenal have the likes of Mesut Ozil, Danny Welbeck, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan vying for a position in Wenger’s starting eleven. The potential signing of Lemar will undoubtedly bolster Arsene Wenger’s attacking options while adding competition for places in the Gunners squad.

The French youngster is highly versatile and can operate in a number of different positions across the frontline. He can play on either flank or in the number 10 position which makes him an ideal fit for Wenger’s team. It remains to be seen what lies ahead in the future of Lemar and whether he ends up making a switch to the Emirates Stadium in the near future.
