Arsenal fans have been displaying their happiness after conflicting reports on the latest news regarding Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Lemar.
According to Goal, the Gunners are not interested in making a move for the France international, due to the options at the side’s disposal.

The news comes after a week of speculation linking the north London giants with a move for the 24-year-old.
On Tuesday, The Independent reported that Mikel Arteta’s side are considering a move for the player as they prepare to possibly rival Tottenham Hotspur for the winger.
They reported that even a short-term deal wouldn’t be a cheap purchase, for either side, with a loan fee of €6m (roughly £5.1m) being mentioned.
Lemar seemed close to joining the club in the summer of 2017, however, turned down the club after Arsenal had agreed on a fee with AS Monaco (via Evening Standard)
After Goal refuted reports of a move for the player, fans took to Twitter to display their excitement at the fact the club aren’t interested in a transfer. Some even suggested who they should be targeting instead, with Hakim Ziyech just one name to pop up.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Emirates Stadium faithful:

We don’t need a winger and he’s been horrible. We need a defender and a midfielder
