Stats Don’t Lie

Before we discuss that the club is over paying or not, let’s just jump in and see how the French sensation did last season for Monaco, as the French Club defeated PSG to the Ligue1 title.



r a player. (though he did tried paying an extra penny for Luis Suarez) Thomas Lemar attracted the French man’s interest as he made a £30 million bid for the youngster.

Monaco on the other hand are more interested into business and earning some serious profit over this golden boy.

Monaco demanded a whooping  £80m for the guy they just paid £4m in 2015. Now, thats some rise.

And to our surprise, Wenger did respond to the counter demand with increasing £10 in one go as Arsenal posted a £40m bid beforehand.

Arsenal  just smashed their record fee for Alexandre Lacazette as the club paid £52m for the french striker, similarly Wenger knows he has to splash the cash and break the barriers if he wants to bring in Thomas Lemar.

Well, on the other hand in the sum that Arsenal has just offered for Thomas Lemar they can also bring in Riyad Mahrez.

Leicester City has told Arsenal that they will listen to offers around 35m pounds.

Match Preview: Arsenal hope to bounce back against Brighton after Palace

Arsenal will be hosting Brighton at home this Saturday as they look to get back on track after Monday’s loss. Brighton themselves are desperately in search of a win, after consecutive losses and their last result being a draw.

The Gunners had to face a setback against the Eagles and had to see Spurs climb above them in tables over the weekend. Still, Arteta’s men hold a game in hand over Conte’s team and are tied on points.

Arsenal had no bite in attack or defense against Crystal Palace

After a couple of key injuries to Partey and Tierney, it’ll be a test for Arteta to find solutions. The coach, however, is full of optimism.

“We have to show tomorrow the energy, the commitment and the passion that we want to play the game tomorrow in front of our fans,” he said via Arsenal.

Team News

Kieran Tierney will be out for this game and his injury might keep him out for the rest of the season. Arteta confirmed the left-back had surgery but didn’t confirm any timeline for his return.

“He just had surgery yesterday, so it’s very early to understand how everything is going to develop, he’s going to be out for the period that we estimate and in which condition he will be after that period I think it’s too soon to say something else.”

Another player that will miss the game is Thomas Partey, who is struggling with a thigh injury. “It’s a little bit ambiguous but he has a significant injury. We will have to keep assessing him but he will be out for some weeks,” he said.

Further elaborating, “It’s an area he had a previous injury and he felt it straight away and he’s not fit.”

Possible Arsenal Starting XI

Arsenal: Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Nuno; Lokonga, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Lacazette

Result Prediction

Arsenal 2 – 1 Brighton

We fully expect Arteta’s men to get back to winning ways after that setback on Monday night. Brighton, while they shouldn’t be taken lightly, are winless in their last seven games.
