Chelsea to rival Arsenal for Lemar but Liverpool out of the running

Monaco head coach Leonardo Jardim has hinted that forward Thomas Lemar could be sold during January.

Lemar almost joined Arsenal for £92 million during the last transfer window and the Gunners remain interested in the France international.

The 22-year-old has also been linked with a move to Liverpool, particularly with Philippe Coutinho leaving for Barcelona.

Chelsea are also believed to be in the frame and Jardim’s comments at press conference ahead of a League Cup tie against Nice has given some encouragement that a deal can be struck.

“We are not used to selling in the winter,” he said.
