Report: Real Madrid consider Lemar swoop

Real Madrid are reportedly considering an approach for AS Monaco attacker Thomas Lemar.

The Spanish giants, who wrested La Liga away from Barcelona last season, have been strongly linked with a move for Monaco's 18-year-old Kylian Mbappe since the transfer window opened last month.

However, according to Don Balon, the European champions are also eyeing a move for Lemar, who is said to be a transfer target for North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in this summer's transfer window.

Lemar, 21, scored 14 times and registered 14 assists in all competitions last season as Monaco secured their first Ligue 1 title since 2000, in addition to reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The attacker is under contract at Monaco until the summer of 2020.
