Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim has admitted that Monaco cannot guarantee keeping hold of Arsenal target Thomas Lemar, according to a report by the London Evening Standard.
In a press conference, Jardim said: "All the players who were important last season are important to keep for the club.But it has been shown over the years that it's not always possible to keep the players, and you know how our project works.
"So our goal is to work well with players who will stay here after the transfer window closes.”
