Newcomer Atletico Toma Lemar spoke about the factors that helped him decide to move to Spain.

Midfielder Tom Lemar successfully passed a medical examination in Atletico and told about the nuances of his transition from Monaco.

"I've always liked Atletico, and both the club and the team," the official website of the "Colchesteros" quotes the Frenchman.. - So when it was possible to be here, I did not really think about it. The only thing that bothered me was whether I would approach the team, whether I could successfully adapt. But this doubt quickly dispelled my French teammates Antoine Grismann and Lucas Hernandez. They finally persuaded me to go to Atletico ".

Atletico acquired Lemaire from Monaco for 60 million euros. 22-year-old Tom played for Caen (36 matches in all tournaments, 1 goal) and Monaco (127, 22), and also played 13 matches (3 goals) for the national team of France, with whom he won the 2018 World Cup.
