Thomas Lemar wants to join Arsenal because he wants to work under manager Arsene Wenger.
Metro has claimed this morning that the 21-year-old wants to embark on a new experience in the English Premier League.
The Gunners will not feature in next season's Champions League but this hasn't stopped world class players to move to the Emirates.
Alexandre Lacazette and Riyad Mahrez are expected to be officially announced later on this week.
And Lemar could join them before the end of the week.
The youngster is a versatile midfielder who can play in the centre but also on both wings, if required.
