The agent of Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele is reportedly well aware of transfer interest from Chelsea this summer.
According to Football.London, the 25-year-old’s agent is aware Chelsea want to sign his client ahead of next season.
It is explained that Thomas Tuchel’s Blues are closely monitoring the attacker’s situation and are expected to hold talks over a potential move soon.
As it stands, Dembele will be leaving Spanish giants Barcelona this summer when his contract expires next month.
The report claims no decision has been made yet on the £287,000-a-week player’s future, though.
It’s previously been reported that Barca are starting to grow frustrated with their failure to agree terms with Dembele over a contract extension at the Camp Nou.
Ousmane Dembele agent aware of Chelsea
If reports are up to date and reliable, it sounds like Chelsea remain in the mix for Dembele.
The pacey winger is someone that’s a tremendous threat in the final third of the pitch, setting up 13 assists in 21 La Liga appearances this season.
There’s no doubt Chelsea need to be more creative and clinical moving into next season because it’s been their downfall in plenty of matches under Thomas Tuchel.
Let’s see if the right-winger is tempted by a first ever move to the Premier League.
Potential lethal combination
A partnership of Dembele and Reece James down Chelsea’s right flank is a mouth-watering one.
It’s an exciting idea to have a Dembele-James combination down one wing for the Blues, with creator Mason Mount often drifting out to that side of the pitch as well.
Tuchel may still need one or two transfer windows to really build the perfect XI he wants.
