that Arsenal are ‘the likely destination’ for꧙ Atletico Madrid 🐽winger Thomas Lemar this month, as the Frenchman looks to end his nightmare at the La Liga side under Diego Simeone.
Lemar, 24, was linked with Arsenal earlier in the window but nothing came of the reported interest – unt🐼il the latest report from Marca, which very much suggests a move is still on. Atletico are keen to sell Lemar, in order to fund a move for Edinson Cavani.
that Tottenham were keen, but 🌸it seems Spurs are more focused on signing a striker. Lemar, who cost Atletico a whopping £60million () in the summer of 2018 – but he has scored just three goals since.
꧅Indeed, only six assists have come in 64 appearances for Atleti – something which has not impressed Simeone. Now, all signs point to Arsenal with just a week remaining in the January transfe𓃲r window – The Gunners are at the ‘front of the queue’.
TBR’s view – Do Arsenal need Lemar?
The Gunners boast Nicolas Pepe on one wing and when everyone is fit,🔯 P🎃ierre-Emerick Aubameyang normally plays from the left. However, he is naturally a striker and another winger could be a target for The Gunners.
It is slightly harsh on Reiss Nelson and Bukayo Saka, but the Gunners could do with another experienced winger to start ahead of the duo – allowing Nelson and Saka to learn ꦯfrom him. Whether Lemar is that man, though, is another question.
