Arsenal have made a big-money bid for Thomas Lemar but Thomas decided against the move. Here's why the Monaco winger is such an attractive prospect and arsenal should try to get him in the nearest future... With Manchester City attempting to sign Alexis Sanchez, Arsene Wenger has stepped up his long-term interest in Lemar, with Sky sources understanding a £92m bid has been made.
