Liverpool reportedly favourites to sign quality attacker

Liverpool are the favourites to sign Monaco star Thomas Lemar according to popular bookmakers Betfair.

The Bookmakers have priced Liverpool at 7/2 to secure the services of the youngster in January. Chelsea meanwhile are narrowly behind at 4/1. Arsenal who almost signed Lemar last summer as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez are priced at 6/1.

Lemar is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in European football and played a key role for Monaco last season as they went on to win the Ligue 1 as well as reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

However Monaco may be hesitant to part ways with their prized asset as they have struggled to replicate their form of last season after selling £310 million worth of talent during the summer transfer window.

They finished bottom of their Champions League group and subsequently missed out on Europa League football.
