Chelsea are interested in spending big money on signing Thomas Lemar, according to an article in the Telegraph by Matt Law, who is usually spot on with his Chelsea transfer related rumours.
There’s nothing too specific in the piece, it simply says that Chelsea are “weighing up” a big of £80m, one would think the minimum price they would need to pay for the France international.
Monaco’s disappointing showing in the Champions League will have made an exit much more likely for their stars, but also means that the wide man is cup tied in that competition.
The fact that Lemar might be converted to cover at left wing back is also considered, and that is certainly a fascinating proposition.
Honestly, a January move of that size looks really unlikely, especially for a player who can’t play in the competition that is now pretty much the focus for the manager.
