Liverpool ‘close to agreement in principle’ to sign Monaco forward Thomas Lemar – Reports

Liverpool are on the brink of signing Monaco star Thomas Lemar, according to reports in France.

The Reds are long-term admirers of Lemar and were linked with a move for the 22-year-old last summer.

Arsenal were also interested in the forward, but he ended up staying in France as no clubs were willing no meet Monaco’s £88million asking price.

The France international caught the attention of a host of top sides with a prolific campaign for Monaco last season, scoring 14 goals and claiming 17 assists.

He has been quieter this term netting only three times with eight assists, but Liverpool remain keen.
