Lemar shot to fame last season as Leonardo Jardim’s men won the Ligue 1 title and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The French forward tallied 13 goals in all competitions last season for the French outfit.
The Reds viewed him as a potential replacement for Philippe Coutinho, who was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona.
The Gunners also tabled a deadline day bid of £92m to try and lure the Frenchman to the Emirates.
But Lemar personally rejected their approach in favour of staying at Monaco.
L’Equipe claims the Reds attempted to bring the 21-year-old to Merseyside in the dying hours of the window.
