Arsenal are thought to be on the lookout for attacking reinforcements as Arsene Wenger bids to revamp his squad ahead of next season.
When you read the title, the name Moussa Dembele may pop up in your mind as the midfielder from down the road at White Hart Lane, however fear not Gooners because thankfully he isn’t the player in question here.
Clubs will no doubt be attracted to Dembele’s availability as he looks set to allow his contract to run down at Craven Cottage, making him free to move on this summer. Arsenal needs a striker who is proven and can start immediately.
The 19-year-old has just come off the back of his best season to date after scoring 17 goals in all competitions for a struggling Fulham side that just avoided relegation from the Championship last year.
Vardy is mulling over Arsenal’s £120,000-a-week offer, but he has also received the offer of a £100,000-a-week deal with Leicester. We need to build the team.
So it looks as though Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are ready to battle-it-out for the highly-rated French under-20 global this summer but they could face even further competition for his signature.
Fulham could finish just 20th in the Championship last season, despite benefiting from Dembele’s heroics in front of goal. Although little may be known to most Arsenal fans about Dembele, I’m sure that he would be a worthwhile investment, who would certainly be a better option that having Yaya Sanogo play or even possibly Chuba Akpom at the moment.
