  • Lemar officially completed his move from Monaco to Atletico Madrid on Monday.

    Thomas Lemar says he’s “very happy with the decision” to join Atletico Madrid from Monaco this summer.

    The move was formalised on Monday after the France playmaker completed a medical, though the transfer had been agreed between the two clubs during the World Cup, which Lemar and France went onto win.

    Lemar joins compatriots Antoine Griezmann and Lucas Hernandez in the Atletico squad, and says the duo have left him reassured about his decision to join the La Liga club.

    “I’m very happy to be here,” he said.

    “Antoine and Lucas have told me lots about the club. I’m very happy with the decision I made.

    “I know this team demands hard work and I’ll give it my all for the team. If I need to run more, I’ll do it without a problem.”
