Arsenal Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Alexandre Lacazette, Thomas Lemar

Lyon star Alexandre Lacazette will reportedly travel to London to undergo a medical after Arsenal agreed to a deal worth up to £52 million to sign the France international, per Jason Burt and Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph.

Meanwhile, Le Parisien reported (h/t Get French Football News) AS Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar has told the Gunners "through intermediaries" he's keen to work under manager Arsene Wenger.

Per The Telegraph, it shouldn't be difficult for Lacazette and the Gunners to agree on personal terms, and the medical is the only major obstacle to a transfer. Lyon will receive a base fee of £46 million and could get £6 million in bonus money as well.

The 26-year-old has been one of France's most consistent strikers for years now, netting more than 20 goals in the last three Ligue 1 campaigns.

Charles Watts of Football.london believes the forward will face a lot of pressure in north London:

The report also noted Monaco turned down an offer from Arsenal for Lemar, but according to Get French Football News, the midfielder has made it clear to the Gunners he's keen on a move.

Monaco are trying desperately to keep hold of as many of their youngsters as possible in a bid not to let the biggest star of them all―Kylian Mbappe―slip away.

Lemar and team-mate Benjamin Mendy know their value is at a premium after fine 2016-17 campaigns, however, and don't know whether Monaco will sell any more of their star players. Their futures appear contingent on the decision of Mbappe and the club board keeping their promise of not selling any more players.
