Lemar: I haven't considered leaving Atletico Madrid LaLiga Keen to better himself

Atletico Madrid winger Thomas Lemar is aware of his need to improve on his first season at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Doubts surround the Frenchman's place in the side, despite being the most expensive signing in the club's history, but he himself isn't questioning his future as he knows that he needs to improve.

"My season hasn't been exceptional," Lemar confessed to Telefoot.

"Whatever is said about me doesn't impact me too much and my price doesn't bother me.

"[Leaving Atletico] hasn't even crossed my mind, it's not the time to think about that."

While understanding that more is expected of him, Lemar remains confident in his ability to deliver at the Wanda.

"It's perfectly normal for people to expect more," he agreed.

"But I'm new at the club, adapting to a new system and a new league.

"I know they expect a lot more from me and it will come."

Diego Simeone has had Atletico playing a certain way for some time now and it is not a system that allows for players to cruise and be carried.

"Everyone knows the demands here," Lemar said.

"Defensively you can't relax.

"I'm not going to say that it's difficult, but it's something I've had to add to my repertoire."
