da betsson: According to reports in The Mirror, Arsenal have been dealt a huge blow in their attempts to sign Monaco winger Thomas Lemar this summer after being told he will cost £80m.
da esoccer bet: The 21-year-old wide-man is one of Arsene Wenger’s top targets following a hugely impressive campaign for the French side, in which he helped them win the Ligue 1 title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League by scoring 14 goals and providing a further 17 assists in 55 appearances in all competitions.
However, The Mirror says that Monaco want to keep him and it would take a bid of £80m to prise him away from the club, meaning the north London outfit could switch their attentions to Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez instead.
Arsenal supporters were quick to have their say on the rumour via social media, and they don’t believe the club will pay the £80m price tag for Lemar, while others believe that they will now step up their bid to sign Mahrez as they continue to strengthen in attacking areas.
