# Arsenal still keeping tabs on Ousmane Dembele

Arsenal are reportedly still weighing up a move for Barcelona youngster Ousmane Dembele.

According to *Mundo Deportivo*, via *[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/ousmane-dembele-arsenal-sven/)*, the Gunners are not intending to “lose sight” of the player, whose future has been much-discussed of late.

Dembele has struggled to nail down a regular starting berth since his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund in 2017, often under-performing despite his huge reputation.

Question marks have surrounded his attitude and the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho have comfortably outshone him.

The France World Cup winner has been linked with a January exit, with Arsenal one of those strongly tipped to make a bid for him.

The north London club could be in a strong position, considering their head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat, signed Dembele at Borussia Dortmund in 2016, acquiring him from Rennes.

It remains to be seen whether the 21-year-old attempts to turn things around at Barcelona or cut his losses, but there will be a big scramble for his signature should he leave.

Liverpool are also believed to be expressing an interest, with Jurgen Klopp keen to add more firepower to his attack.
