And French newspaper L’Equipe claims the Gunners have finally submitted an offer for the versatile playmaker.

It’s said that the offer exceeds Atletico Madrid’s £26.5m bid which was made a year ago.

And with Lemar open to leaving Monaco, it seems Arsenal have beaten north London rivals Tottenham to his signature.
