Arsenal to rival United, Leicester and Chelsea for Dembele

Arsenal are, according to the Mail Online, believed to be among a number of other Premier League teams considering an approach for 18-year-old Rennes midfielder, Ousmane Dembele.

The youngster has been in good form so far this season for the Ligue 1 outfit, scoring four times in nine games and is being hotly tipped to be the next ‘big thing’ to come out of France.

Leicester are among the other teams attracted by the young Frenchman, whom they believe could be a similar player to Riyad Mahrez, who was also bought from France, now worth a supposed £30m.

Arsenal scouts have already been to watch the young winger this season and are rumoured to be keen on acquiring his services. Arsene Wenger will be sure to keep an eye out on how the player performs throughout the rest of the season, especially when others, including rivals Manchester United and Chelsea, are considering potential offers for the summer transfer window.
