Arsenal appear to have revived their interest in Thomas Lemar and will fight Liverpool for the Frenchman’s signature.

Arsene Wenger has chased Lemar for much of the summer only to admit defeat a couple of weeks ago, claiming the deal was ‘dead’.

However, with the Arsenal boss now under pressure after a poor start to the season and following the departure of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool, the club are back in the race for the Monaco player.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have launched a second bid for Alexis Sanchez worth £55 million plus £5 million in add ons.

However, Arsenal will only sell the Chilean whose contract expires next year if they manage land Lemar as a replacement, according to journalist Guillem Balague.
