5 outrageous replacements for Neymar

#1 Thomas Lemar

Lemar took the world by storm last season

The Monaco midfielder took the world by storm last season when he helped the side lift the Ligue 1 title over top contenders, Paris Saint-Germain. The versatile midfielder scored 14 goals in all competitions last season.

Lemar moved to Monaco two seasons ago and has since become a household name in France. A string of impressive performances put the youngster on Arsenal's radar with Arsene Wenger reportedly making him his #1 target.

Monaco, having already lost a few of their title winning players, are stubbornly trying to retain their player and have rejected multiple bids from Arsenal.

The versatile midfielder is also the subject of outrageous rumours that suggest that Barcelona might call upon the 21-year-old to replace Neymar.

Despite Lemar's ability to play on both wings as well as through the centre, he is light years behind Neymar in terms of refined skill, and cannot possibly fill in the ginormous void left behind by the Brazilian.

To conclude,

These five world-class players are undoubtedly talented and might even move away from their respective clubs in this transfer window. However, these are just outrageous rumours and it is extremely unlikely that any of them will be recruited by Barcelona to replace Neymar, who is leagues ahead in terms of skill.
