The Monaco winger has been red-hot this season, and has contributed nine assists since the start of the 2017 calendar year.
The subject of a massive offer above €90 million from the Gunners this summer, Lemar ended up staying at Monaco, for whom he recently scored a wonderful goal after dribbling half the Bordeaux defence.
