Graham Potter reportedly wants Chelsea to sign Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.
According to Sport.fr, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are both interested in the 25-year-old attacker.
The report shares that Blues manager Potter, in particular, would love the Barcelona winger at Stamford Bridge as part of his squad.
It is understood that Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez wants Dembele to sign a contract extension at the Camp Nou, with his current deal expiring in 2024. This is proving a difficult job right now, though.
Graham Potter wants Ousmane Dembele
For Potter, he’s now shopping in the premium aisle as Chelsea’s head coach.
The former Brighton manager should be able to dream and ask to work with some of the world’s best players, something he’s not had the luxury of earlier in his career.
Dembele, who earns £199,000-a-week, (Salary Sport), can be one of the world’s most exciting wide players when he’s in the mood.
The lightning fast winger is currently enjoying a decent World Cup tournament with France, who play Morocco tonight in the semi-finals.
Described as “really good” and “unpredictable” by Wayne Rooney, Dembele has the potential to light up the Premier League if he ends up leaving Barcelona for a move to England. If Rooney rates you highly as a forward, you’re doing a lot of things well.
It’s obvious Chelsea need their forward line to click into gear to get challenging again for trophies across the board.
The frontline has looked a little toothless at times this season despite having a lot of talent in the squad.
It feels like there may need to be a little shake up of personnel to get some better fortune moving forward, so grabbing Dembele would be a massive help.
