| Arsene Wenger failed to sign three players from Monaco |
ARSENAL tried and failed to sign three players from Monaco over the summer.
Arsene Wenger struggled in his attempts to sign an outfield player during the off-season, with goalkeeper Petr Cech the only arrival at the Emirates.
And now Get French Football News have revealed the details of the Gunners' lack of business.
Wenger reportedly held talks with Monaco in June to discuss the availability of midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, left-back Layvin Kurzawa and striker Anthony Martial.
The Gunners boss spoke with Kondogbia himself, but was put off by the Frenchman's transfer fee and he instead joined Inter Milan for a hefty £25million in June.
The north London club also ended their interest in Kurzawa and Martial after Monaco warned the pair were not for sale.
However, every player of course has their price as the former joined Paris Saint-Germain in August for £17m and the latter agreed a £36m deadline day move to Manchester United.

Martial attracted a host of interest during the summer, with Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg, Tottenham, Chelsea, Juventus and Manchester City all failing in their pursuit.
United managed to land the France international by including a number of add-ons, with his transfer fee potentially rising to £56m.
