Arsenal need a number of high-profile additions to their squad in the summer if they are to again compete for the top four and possibly even the title and reinforcements are needed across the board.
Neither Alexandre Lacazette or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have hit the ground running following their big-money moves from Lyon and Borussia Dortmund respectively and the Gunners might be in the market for another attacker.
Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele is a player that Arsenal are said to be interested in and the France international himself is ready to make the move to the Emirates – on one condition.
Shortly after completing a move from Borussia Dortmund to the Nou Camp which could be worth a potential £130m if all clauses are met, Dembele suffered a significant hamstring injury which kept him out for over three months, limiting him to just 11 appearances to date without scoring.
The 20-year-old is said to be eager to get his career back on track next season and Don Balon claim that Dembele would be interested in joining Arsenal in the summer – if Barcelona complete a deal to sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid.
Griezmann is believed to have a €100m release clause in his contract and is also a top target for Manchester United, but Barcelona see the Frenchman as the ideal addition to their attacking line, and signing him would push Dembele down the pecking order.
Dembele is even said to be willing to leave on loan in order to prove himself, with Chelsea a potential destination for the attacker, but both Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are also said to be interested in him if he becomes available.
