Monoca highly-rated ace snub contract talks because of Arsenal interest

Report in Metro claim France international midfielder Thomas Lemar is holding off talks over a new contract with Monaco as he is waiting to confirm if Arsenal will make a move or show interest in him.

Lemar is left with three years on his current deal with the Ligue 1 giant but the latest report in the media claim is holding out to see if manager Arsene Wenger will make a move to sign him.
