Tottenham are ready to make a big push to sign Monaco winger Thomas Lemar, according to L’Equipe.
The French newspaper report that Spurs, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are preparing offers this summer for the attacking midfielder, 21.
L’Equipe report that Lemar is among the top targets of Champions League finalists Juventus, but Tottenham and Spanish big hitters Atletico are also keeping close tabs on the left-sided ace.
It is said that the Premier League club have been in contact with the representatives of Lemar and made it clear they are keen to use their sizeable summer budget to land a player who has lit up Europe this season.
The two-times France international has been a key player for a Monaco side that won the Ligue 1 title on the back of their dazzling attacking displays and defied the odds to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Lemar has scored 14 goals and supplied 17 assists in 55 matches in all competitions, with two goals and five assists coming during the French club’s memorable Champions League run.
Tottenham were hugely impressed with Lemar’s performances against them in the group stages of the competition before Christmas.
He scored in both matches against Mauricio Pochettino’s side and was similarly productive as Monaco knocked Manchester City out of the Champions League at the knockout stage.
Intriguingly, City announced on Friday that they had signed Lemar’s 2016-17 teammate Bernardo Silvia, a right-winger, for £43million.
