Arsenal will reportedly end their pursuit of AS Monaco star Thomas Lemar and will instead focus their efforts on landing Manchester City's Raheem Sterling and Lyon talisman Nabil Fekir.
The Gunners were said to have come close to agreeing deals for Lemar and Sterling late in the summer transfer window, but Sami Mokbel of MailOnline reported the former will be too costly.
Mokbel referred to the £90 million Lemar deal Arsenal almost got over the line on deadline day, when Alexis Sanchez missed out on his own move to City, but the Gunners believe their target will now be a lot more expensive.
