Arsene Wenger is convinced Thomas Lemar wants to join Arsenal this summer and is ready to sanction a third bid for the Monaco star, Metro has reported.
The Frenchman has already asked the club to make two offers for the youngster, both of which were rejected.
But he is convinced that a winning bid will be placed in the coming days.
Arsenal have already secured the services of striker Alexandre Lacazette this month and the 21-year-old could follow in the next few days.
Wenger named a 25-man squad for Arsenal's pre-season tour of Australia and China.
Kieran Gibbs, Mathieu Debuchy, Carl Jenkinson, Lucas Perez and Wojciech Szczesny were not included as they are all expected to be sold this summer.
