According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are to launch an assault on Monaco for midfielder Thomas Lemar. The 21-year-old French international, who is also understood to be a summer target for Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, has emerged as a primary target for boss Massimo Allegri who sees the player as the perfect fit in either a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system.
 

The journal states that the Bianconeri have asked for information on Lemar and could set up a meeting with Monaco officials to sound out if a move to Turin is possible.
