The latter stages of the Arsene Wenger era seem like a distant memory to most of the Arsenal faithful given how current boss Mikel Arteta has exceeded expectations this season.
However, the name of one key figure of the back end of Wenger's reign - despite never actually signing for Arsenal, has appeared once again. Thomas Lemar is available to secure on a free transfer this summer as the Frenchman's time at Atletico Madrid nears its end.
Lemar was of course the subject of a memorable £92million bid from what was then Wenger's Arsenal back in August of 2017 according to reports. At the time the wide-forward was just 21 years of age and was an integral part of the Monaco side that captured hearts as they won the 2016/17 Ligue 1 and reached the last four of the Champions League.
