The one that can't happen!
#1 Thomas Lemar to Arsenal
Arsenal were linked with Thomas Lemar for the entire transfer window and a transfer was unlikely to happen after Arsene Wenger claimed that Monaco had 'shut the door' on any move. However, towards the end of the transfer window, Liverpool suddenly ramped up their interest in the Frenchman and had a couple of bids rejected by the Stade Louis II outfit.

Finally, earlier today, numerous outlets confirmed that Arsenal had a Premier League record bid of £92m (€100m) accepted by Monaco. It soon emerged that Lemar was not inclined to a transfer as there was not enough time left, due to his participation in France's World Cup qualifier against Netherlands.
During the game - which resulted in a comfortable 4-0 win for France - the 21-year-old scored a brace and that has surely added a couple of millions to his price tag. With so little time less, it is unlikely that the deal will happen.
