Liverpool are locked in talks with Ligue 1 side Monaco over the signing of France international Thomas Lemar, two days before the transfer window closes for business in England.

The Daily Mail is reporting that The Reds have made an improved £74 million (approximately N34.8 billion) bid for the Monaco star.

And they have offered Divock Origi on loan to the Principality side, as a makeweight in the potential deal for Lemar.

Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with the versatile midfielder in recent days, whilst Premier League champions Chelsea are also keen on his signature.

Thomas Lemar, 21, has contractual obligations with Monaco until the end of the 2019-2020 season.
