Thomas Lemar (born 12 November 1995) is a French footballer who currently plays for Ligue 1 club AS Monaco. He plays as a midfielder.
Lemar made his Ligue 2 debut in the opening game of the 2013–14 season on 2 August 2013 replacing Jérôme Rothen after 78 minutes in Caen's 3–1 home win over Dijon FCO.
On 22 November 2016, Lemar scored the winning goal (which was the third goal of the match) with a strike through the legs of defender Kieran Trippier right after Djibril Sidibé's cross had reached him in the penalty box in the 53rd minute, to enable Monaco to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 2–1 at home in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage Group E matchday 5 match and ensure that Monaco would finish on top of Group E at the conclusion of the group matches on 7 Dec.
On 1 March 2017, Lemar scored the winning goal in a 4–3 extra-time away win over Olympique de Marseille in a 2016–17 Coupe de France round of 16 match just two minutes after Rémy Cabella had leveled the score to 3–3 in the 111th minute.
Lemar was called up to the senior France squad to face Sweden and Ivory Coast in November 2016 after Kingsley Coman withdrew through injury. He made his debut on 15 November against the latter, replacing Adrien Rabiot for the final 12 minutes of a home friendly match that ended in 0–0 draw.
