#3 Thomas Lemar (Atletico Madrid)

Lemar was a part of France's World Cup winning squad

Thomas Lemar was subject to intense transfer speculation after his amazing season with AS Monaco in 2016/17. However, he failed to secure a move away and then underwent a mediocre season last time around. Maybe, that is the reason why the interest from some of the topmost clubs cooled down.

Accordingly, Atletico Madrid pounced on the occasion and lured Lemar for a fee ranging around 65 million pounds. The Frenchman is strong and quick on his feet, as he brings dynamism and pace on the flanks. Lemar is someone who can move around the forward line in search of openings in the opposition’s backline.

He is very effective from set-pieces too, often displaying his qualities in dead ball situations. Diego Simeone will surely bring more discipline to Lemar’s style of play and the Frenchman can become an integral member of the Argentine’s setup at Atletico.
