Liverpool Set to Pursue Alternative Attacking Targets After Dropping Interest in Thomas Lemar

Liverpool are no longer interested in signing Monaco star Thomas Lemar, focusing their attention on other targets going forward.

The player has been tipped as the one to come in as a replacement for Brazilian sensation Philippe Coutinho, who left for Barcelona last month in a £142m transfer deal. The Liverpool Echo report that the Reds will focus on other options, and the Frenchman is 'not on the list of targets under consideration'.

This week, reports in France claimed the player had been refusing to sign a new deal at Monaco, giving Liverpool - as well as other interested clubs - greater hope of getting him on their books in the summer.
