Pulse Sports brings you the latest transfer titbits relating to key players and top clubs.
Chelsea, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are all reportedly interested in signing Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele.
Barcelona are said to be ready to sell Dembele, whose market value is €60 million, should Lionel Messi return to the Nou Camp.
Reports indicate that the Magpies have already held talks with the French international, who joined the Catalan club in 2017 from Borussia Dortmund.
Although he was tipped to replace Neymar, Dembele has struggled with injuries, limiting his impact and playing time.
Dembele – with eight goals and seven assists in 28 appearances this season – has, however, seen his career revitalized since Xavi Hernandez returned to the club as a manager.
