Liverpool have stepped up their pursuit of Thomas Lemar and are reportedly on the brink of agreeing a deal with Monaco.
The Frenchman has long been linked with the Reds and is seen as a potential replacement for Philippe Coutinho after his £145million move to Barcelona.
Arsenal are another Premier League giant keen on the 22-year-old but reports in France have claimed Liverpool have pushed ahead of their rivals.
It's understood Monaco have been holding out for £88million and Le 10 Sport claim Liverpool are on the cusp of agreeing a deal with the French outfit.
The outlet's story also suggested the Anfield club have 'made some good moves' in recent weeks and are putting the finishing touches on a potential deal.
Lemar enjoyed his breakthrough season at club level last year, playing a starring role in Monaco's successful season.
He bagged 14 goals as Monaco shocked Paris Saint-Germain to win the league title in France and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
But Lemar has under-performed in 2017-18, with the playmaker managing just five goals in 27 appearances.
