Monaco winger Thomas Lemar could still end up at Arsenal according to Sky Sport's Dharmesh Sheth.
The youngster is a confirmed target for manager Arsene Wenger.
The French giants made it clear that the player is not for sale but Sheth says the two clubs will very soon resume talks.
"Despite Monaco's insistence that he stays at the club, we understand Arsenal maintain a keen interest in the player," Sheth said on Sky Sports News.
"It's thought talks between the clubs continue.
"Monaco's not for sale stance has been seen in some quarters as a way to encourage Arsenal to make a higher offer.
"Perhaps we haven't heard the last of Thomas Lemar in this window."
