Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a double injury blow, with Erik Lamela and Heung Min-Son both set to miss the start of next campaign.
With Tottenham Hotspur set to be without both Erik Lamela and Heung-Min Son at the start of next season, signing Thomas Lemar has just become even more crucial.
Lamela’s hip injury is set to keep him out until October, while Son could be out until a similar time after damaging his arm on international duty.
And Tottenham now should be desperate to bring in Monaco’s Lemar – to make sure they are not caught short at the start of the campaign.
Spurs can ill afford to left behind in the race for the title, especially as they have been handed a very tricky start to the campaign.
Tottenham open proceedings with a difficult tie against Newcastle United, before they take on Chelsea.
If Spurs are short of options in attack, then that could prove costly – and Mauricio Pochettino’s side simply cannot afford to begin the campaign on the back foot in the race to finish on top of the Premier League.
As a result, Lemar’s arrival at Spurs appears to be more important than ever.
Lemar would significantly strengthen Tottenham’s attacking options, and if Monaco are willing to sell for £25 million (Daily Mail), then Daniel Levy should be working to complete a deal as quickly as possible.
