Chelsea have joined the battle for Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar.

The Sun says they are set to battle it out with Manchester City for Lemar.

Lemar, 21, has been tipped to leave the French club this summer with City boss Pep Guardiola a big fan of the attacking midfielder.

L'Equipe says the Blues are said to be in for the Frenchman who has helped himself to ten goals and six assists in all competitions under Leonardo Jardim.

Antonio Conte is already looking for additions to his squad who look likely to win the Premier League this season.

Lemar has put talks over a new deal with Monaco on hold as he decides on his future but the Ligue 1 outfit are desperate to hold on to their man.
