Football: Atletico Madrid reach preliminary agreement for Monaco's Lemar

Atletico Madrid have reached a preliminary agreement to sign Thomas Lemar from Monaco. The winger was a key member of Leonardo Jardim's Ligue 1 title-winning side in 2016-17. A move to Arsenal then fell through when Alexis Sanchez failed to join Manchester City. And Lemar, a member of France's World Cup squad, now appears bound for LaLiga.
