Arsenal’s move for Monaco star Thomas Lemar put on hold with Arsene Wenger struggling to offload a host of flops
ARSENAL'S move for Monaco star Thomas Lemar has been put on hold, with Arsene Wenger struggling to offload a host of flops.
At least seven Gunners players have been put on the market this summer by the French boss after already splashing £44million on Alexandre Lacazette.
Jack Wilshere, David Ospina, Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson, Lucas Perez, Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy may all need to leave the club in order for a deal for Lemar to go through.
All players have been linked with moves away from the Emirates this summer, but are yet to leave.
The lack of activity will no doubt be a worry for Wenger - as well as Arsenal fans - as a deal for Lemar already appears to be slipping away.
So far, Wenger has only been able to sell Wojciech Szczesny - as he left for Juventus following a two-year loan stint at Serie A side Roma.
Now, with news that Barcelona are set to sign Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho - despite a second, world-record £89.5m bid being rejected - Arsenal face more issues.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has now entered the race for Monaco star Lemar and could have plenty of funds to play with should their "Little Magician" leave.
