So we bid 87mill when another bid of 100mill had already been rejected. Anyone can do that without risk. If I see a guy buying a Rolls Royce and rush in and offer to pay 50K less, does that make me a big spender or a fantasist? The whole Mbappe thing is beyond ridiculous. We're fucking around again instead of identifying realistic targets and getting the deals done. We haven't even sat down with Alexis and Ozil yet. We're ignoring Ox. And we're putting out stupid sob stories about wage regulations as a huge come-and-get-me flag for Barca and Bellerin. In other words, we're fucking it up. Again. We'll go into the next season unprepared, as usual.

Yes, Operation Desperation. We had no choice but to patch the ship for fear it would sink faster. It must have burned their souls to waste so much cash on silly old football related stuff. Fortunately it all came out of extra TV revenues so never fear, they still have their millions stashed.

Well, whether it was a sensible or realistic bid is a different argument, but Zim was questioning whether it happened at all when it clearly did.
I'm not sure what other bids have happened and the order of events.
No official sources have confirmed it (either club), papers will tend to re-hash information form other places to fill their pages, this article actually says according to the telegraph which is what you posted a link for:

Looks like nonsense to me.
We've overspent on players like Xhaka(£35m), Mustafi (£35m) and Chambers (17m) but haven't spent enough on bringing in a top class striker. The striker position is the one position where you're unlikely to unearth some hidden talent on the cheap. You need to sp
We've probably spent around £40m on strikers in total anyway. Welbeck and Perez cost around £20m each, we wasted around £4m for that Japanese kid. Factor in the wages we’ve blown….we should have just coughed up the asking price for Lacazette years ago. We’ve spent £40 to £50m on garbage and it’s cost us over the years and prices have kept on going up.
In the last 10-12 years we've underspent, maybe it's been better in the last few seasons, but it's largely been wasted on rubbish to be honest, last summer was a shamble with us overpaying for players who aren't good enough and aren't worth half that, Mustafi for example we had to overpay for because we left he deal so late and Perez was just a panic buy to try and keep fans happy.
Point is, it makes no difference whether it happened or not. It was an entirely irrelevant bid. Typical Wenger. How much is this Mars bar? A pound. I'll give you 50p. If we have 87mill to spend, then why not put in a big bid for Aubergine? Get him here, get him integrated, get him and the team ready for pre-season.
