Chelsea consider Thomas Lemar their first January signing


Chelsea could offer Michy Batshuayi to AS Monaco as part of a deal to land Thomas Lemar from the Ligue 1 champions, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The Blues are keen on securing the 22-year-old forward, who was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer, as Antonio Conte looks to strengthen his attacking force at Stamford Bridge.

Batshuayi has struggled to produce a consistent form for the west London outfit this season and started on the bench during the club’s 3-1 win at Huddersfield.

The report adds that Chelsea have reportedly stepped up their interest to try and sign The Frenchman Lemar from Monaco in the new year.
