Arsenal's chances of signing Monaco and France midfielder Thomas Lemar
looks all but over after Arsene Wenger declared in his press
conference on Thursday that any deal for the 21 year old is dead after
the Ligue 1 champions closed the door to a deal.
Asked about the chances of Arsenal signing the midfielder, Wenger was
quick to throw a spanner in the wheels of any deal happening with a
week left of the transfer window.
"It's dead, because Monaco has closed the door definitely. He said
"They are still on cases like M'Bappe, Fabinho, they already lost
Mendy, Bernardo Silva, Bakayoko. Monaco is at a stage where they have
basically closed the door."
On how Arsenal would cope after missing out on a prime target after
several bids was turned down my Monaco, he had this to say:
"We have the numbers, we have the quality to deal with that."
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal's transfer business is
definitely closed for the summer. With just a week left of the
transfer window, the club still needs to strengthen. But it looks like
the club may have closed the door on any new arrival, just as Monaco
have closed the door on Thomas Lemar leaving.
