Transfer News: £10m Dembele Linked With Move

With the summer transfer window set to open, we’ll keep you up-to-date with all the latest transfer news. Today,  Premier League big guns are linked with Moussa Dembele.

Chelsea have joined Arsenal, Man Utd and Tottenham in the race to sign Fulham’s Moussa Dembele, if reports in the Daily Mail are to be believed.

Following on from their capture of Eden Hazard, the Mail claim that the Blues are hoping to pair him up with his international team mate by bringing the £10m-rated Dembele to Stamford Bridge this summer.

Dembele has only one year remaining on his current contract and has showed no intention of signing an extension. This leaves Fulham boss Martin Jol in the uncomfortable position of having to either cash in now or risk losing one of his star players for nothing next summer.

The Mail report that Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham are already tracking the 24-year-old, but the trio face stiff competition from European champions Chelsea.

Dembele is an exciting attacking midfielder who can play across the midfield or in support of the striker.

FT Verdict

Dembele is sure to be one of the hottest properties in the Premier League this summer. He was hugely impressive last season for Fulham and with only one year left on his contract, the vultures are circling.

I’m not convinced he’d be capable of holding down a first team place at Manchester United or Chelsea and he may feel there is too much competition at those clubs, so a move to Arsenal or Tottenham appears more likely.
