Spurs Eyeing Up Sensational Double Swoop For AS Monaco Stars

Following a brilliant season domestically - not to mention their heroics in the Champions League, AS Monaco players continue to be subject to intense transfer speculation. From Tiémoué Bakayoko, Fabinho and Benjamin Mendy.

Portuguese flair player Bernardo Silva has already sealed a transfer to Manchester City while Kylian Mbappe continues to dominate the transfer rumour mills.

Real Madrid and Arsenal, to name but a few, remain heavily linked with a transfer for the 18-year-old sensation as a world record transfer is muted.

And it now appears Arsenal's cross town rivals Spurs are eyeing up a further two Monaco stars. Reports suggest they are preparing an offer for both Thomas Lemar and Djibril Sidibe, according to Le10 Sport.

After producing heroics for his club, Lemar maintained his fine form as the midfielder started for France as they beat England 3-2 on Wednesday night.

The 21-year-old has become renown for his ability to create play from the middle of the park, and would forge a mouth watering partnership with Christian Eriksen should he ultimately make the switch.

Though as well as Spurs, Arsenal are also keeping tabs on Lemar. And he's not the only player from the French outfit Mauricio Pochettino is hoping to lure to North London.

The Argentine boss is also tracking right-back Sidibe. Pochettino has identified the 24-year-old as a potential replacement should Kyle Walker eventually secure his move to fellow Premier League side Manchester City.

Walker appears to be edging closer to a transfer to City though his fee remains a stumbling block.

Just like Lemar, Sidibe also starred for France and even scored in the victory.

It's yet another player approached regarding a summer move away from Monaco.

Where will Lemar and Sidibe be plying their trade next season? Have your say in the comment section below.
