AS Monaco winger Thomas Lemar WANTS to move to Liverpool.

That's according to transfer expert Duncan Castles of the Daily Record.

Castles told the Transfer Window podcast: “The most important thing here is that Liverpool have advanced matters with a replacement for Coutinho, who is Thomas Lemar from Monaco.

“They tried to sign him in the summer at the point in which they asked Barcelona to hold off at the end of the window while they secured a replacement.

“Liverpool have continued their seduction of Lemar and I'm told from contacts at Monaco he will come. It's expected he will move if the Coutinho move goes through with Barcelona."
