“I was at Ambape’s house when he was debating whether to extend his contract in Monaco,” he revealed Wenger, “He could have come to Arsenal for free, but I think all the clubs are full of stories like that. “He is currently at the level of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and had an amazing game at the Camp Nou that night.”

This is not the first time Wenger himself has revealed he was very close to attaching a star. In fact, he also recalled what had happened to him with Ronaldo in the past: “He was very close to Arsenal, we were unlucky because Carlos Cyrus talked to Alex Ferguson when he arrived in Manchester and within a week convinced United to sign him.”
