Tottenham have reportedly hatched a plan as they look to beat north London rivals Arsenal to the signing of Atletico Madrid ace Thomas Lemar. Both clubs have been linked with the winger, who has struggled since moving to the Spanish capital of the summer of 2018. Tottenham and Everton in transfer battle for Roma outcast Cengiz UnderLemar has scored just three goals in 64 appearances since joining Atletico from Monaco for £52.7million. That was after he came close to joining Arsenal in the summer of 2017, but current Atletico boss Diego Simeone has admitted Lemar could leave this month. And the Independent claim Tottenham are making a loan approach for the 24-year-old, with an option to buy.
