Standing 1.93m tall, Lemaitre regularly features in Spain's youth teams. However, he was not called up to Spain's latest Under-17 training camp, and France has quickly taken notice.
The French Football Federation has reportedly made contact with Lemaitre, who is open to representing France despite his dream of playing for Spain's national team, La Roja. One factor in France's favor is the upcoming U17 World Cup in November, which Spain will not be participating in.
Meanwhile, in Madrid, Lemaitre's future in football looks bright, with many agreeing that he has a promising career ahead of him.
