Tottenham have been installed as odds-on favourites to sign Monaco winger Thomas Lemar, according to the latest betting odds.

Sky Bet have priced the north London club at 10/11 to sign the brilliant 21-year-old before the transfer window shuts on 3 September.

The odds on Tottenham landing Lemar have narrowed considerably in recent days and even in the last 24 hours, with the price a more distant 5/2 on Tuesday.

Spurs are hot favourites to land Lemar ahead of bitter rivals Arsenal, who are now 5/1 in the betting, while the odds on third favourites Juventus have now drifted to 16/1.

The odds have tumbled on Lemar making a sensational move to White Hart Lane following speculation of strong interest from Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Spurs were priced 8/1 to sign the France international at the end of May, when Arsenal were the favourites at 3/1.

The French newspaper L’Equipe report that Spurs have joined European big guns Juventus and Atletico Madrid in preparing offers for left-sided ace Lemar and have already held preliminary talks with his representatives.

He has had an outstanding season for Monaco and took that form into the international arena with an impressive display on his third appearance for France in their thrilling 3-2 win against England on Tuesday night.

Lemar scored 14 goals and supplied 17 assists in 55 matches in all competitions for Monaco in 2016-17, with goals coming against Tottenham in the Champions League during their memorable run to the semi-finals of the tournament.
