All roads lead to Arsenal for Lemar LaLiga Could leave the club

For Atletico Madrid to get the striker that Diego Simeone wants, Thomas Lemar will have to leave the club with Arsenal at the front of the queue for his signature.

The Frenchman's departure would make room on the wage bill as the Rojiblancos aim to bring in Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain.

Since his move from Monaco to Atletico in the summer of 2018, Lemar has failed to show the same form in Spain.

Atletico signed Lemar for 72 million euros, which at the time made him the most expensive signing in the club's history, though Monaco still own 30 percent of the player's rights.

Despite Simeone giving Lemar plenty of opportunity at Atletico, it looks like his time in Madrid is almost over, given the poor level of performance shown.

Even this season, he hasn't scored or assisted in any of the 15 LaLiga Santander matches played.

As a result Atletico have sought a way out for Lemar with Arsenal the likely destination.
