Thomas Lemar Agrees To Join Arsenal.

But the Daily Star are now reporting that a deal has been agreed in principle with the French club and a five-year deal worth £250,000-a-week.

It goes on to say that Alexis Sanchez does not have to be sold to Manchester City for the Lemar deal to go through.

The Chilean was moments away from his dream move to the Etihad before the Gunners pulled the plug when Lemar confirmed he was staying at Monaco.

And boss Arsene Wenger said yesterday that he believed Sanchez could even sign a new deal with Arsenal.

But the reality is the former Barcelona star could leave the Gunners for just £20m in the new year.

Lemar was said to have snubbed a move to the Gunners, who have endured a terrible start to their Premier League campaign.
