Liverpool Transfer News: Thomas Lemar rejected Arsenal on deadline day
Arsenal agreed a £92million fee with Monaco to sign Lemar but he rejected them because they are not in the Champions League. Liverpool failed with bids worth £56m and £65m this week, meaning Lemar will stay with Monaco.
The 21-year-old scored two goals in France's 4-0 World Cup qualifying win over Holland tonight. And afterwards he was questioned over his future by French TV channel TF1.
Lemar said: We'll see what happens. "For the moment I am a Monaco player and everything is going very well.
Arsenal are now highly unlikely to complete any major deals before the 11pm transfer deadline tonight. Lemar had been a target for the Gunners for much of the summer, with Liverpool also interested in him.
It is understood made a late push to sign Lemar after Manchester City made an improved offer for their forward Alexis Sanchez.
While Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has been insisting for months that Sanchez, whose contract expires at the end of the season, would not be sold, it is believed the Chile forward would have had a chance of a move if Arsenal could have signed a replacement.
That ultimately means Sanchez will stay put, even though it is understood City launched an improved bid earlier yesterday. Arsenal had already lost Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to a Premier League rival earlier today as the England international completed a move to Liverpool.
Kieran Gibbs was sold to West Brom yesterday while the futures of players such as Lucas Perez, Jack Wilshere and Mathieu Debuchy remain up in the air.
Leicester reportedly made a big-money move for Calum Chambers but Arsenal are adamant the defender will not leave in this window.
