Arsenal to bid for Dembele

Arsenal are interested in bringing Ousmane Dembele to the Premier League despite concerns about the many injuries the French striker has suffered in Barcelona.

Dembele, 22, struggled with adaptation in Catalonia after the 2017 transfer from Borussia Dortmund as a replacement for Neymar, and it is believed that Blaugrana will try to get rid of him this summer.

The British media claim that Arsenal face competition in Man United, who are also interested in Dembele, who has made just five appearances this season, and want to first assess his physical fitness. Barca could release Dembele for just 40 million euros, although they paid 140 million for him, in an attempt to raise funds for the announced attempt to bring in Lautaro Martinez from Inter.

The general assessment is that Dembele is too talented to reject the transfer option, and the two Premier League clubs would like to intensify the attack for next season. Barcelona is even ready to sign a loan agreement.
