Former Arsenal midfielder, Robert Pires, has said that
Monaco’s Thomas Lemar would be a perfect fit for the club.
The Gunners have reportedly had two bids turned down for
Lemar this summer, but are still hoping to lure the France winger to the
Emirates Stadium.
“I love him as a player,” Pires told Sky Sports.
“For me, Thomas Lemar is one of the best French players
there is. He can play on the left, he can play on the right, he can score goals
and he can make assists.
“Lemar is the kind of player who can make a difference. He
has the right profile to play for Arsenal, definitely. I hope for him and for
Arsenal that it happens.”
Lemar scored nine goals and registered 10 assists, as Monaco
won the Ligue 1 title.
