Thomas Lemar scouted: Pace, skill, strength and few weaknesses

The 21-year-old French winger, Thomas Lemar, is a key transfer target for Arsenal, so what’s all the fuss about?

Lemar plays for AS Monaco, and is one of the shining young prospects in the team that won French Ligue 1 this season.

He joined Monaco two years ago from SM Caen for a reported fee of €4 million as a replacement for Anthony Martial.

The young French international made a remarkable 55 appearances for the club across all competitions, contributing to the club’s success with 14 goals and 17 assists.

Even though he’s only 5’57” and a little over 9st, he’s not easily pushed around and is capable of standing his ground. He should work on his physique a bit more, however.

Other than that, Lemar doesn’t have any significant weaknesses that impact on his natural position as a winger.
