Lemar, 21, has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates as Arsene Wenger looks to bolster his ranks ahead of next season.
He has already signed Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer from Schalke and is close to announcing the club-record signing of Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon.
The striker sealed a £52million move after completing a medical on Tuesday night.
Lacazette, 26, will sign a five-year contract and will earn £200,000-a-week.
But The Daily Mirror say his arrival is set to spark a spending spree with Wenger keen to kick start a new era at Arsenal after agreeing a two-year contract extension at the end of last season. Arsenal have been told to pay £80m for Thomas Lemar by Monaco And Thomas Lemar is said to be next on his wish list after giving up on his pursuit of his team-mate Kylian Mbappe.
The Gunners apparently lodged a £31m bid for the France international last month, but their offer was rejected by the Ligue 1 champions. It is said Monaco were left 'surprised' by Arsenal's low bid and do not think Wenger is serious about signing him. But the French boss is keen to step up his pursuit of Lemar by lodging an improved bid. However, The Daily Mirror say Monaco have told Arsenal to stump up £80m if they want to sign their prized asset.
Thomas Lemar
Arsenal have been told to pay £80m by Monaco if they want to sign Thomas Lemar This price tag is a clear indication that the French side do not want to sell and is likely to put the Gunners off. But this will apparently open the door for Arsenal to move for Riyad Mahrez. It is said Leicester are now braced for an approach, but no official bid has been made. The Algeria international has expressed his desire to leave the King Power Stadium and Express Sport understands he is valued at around £50m.
