Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has denied speculation Thomas Lemar snubbed Arsenal in favour of staying with AS Monaco because he did not want to join the Gunners.
Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev previously told TASS (h/t Nick Lustig of Sky Sports) both Liverpool and Arsenal tried to land the France international on deadline day and the player was interested in the move.
As reported by James Cambridge of the Daily Express, rumours arose the player's wish was to join the Reds, and he supposedly decided against an Arsenal transfer as he wasn't all that interested in the club.
