Arsenal line up £89m offer for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele?

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele is reportedly an £89m target for Arsenal, 12 months after arriving at Camp Nou from Borussia Dortmund.

Arsenal are eyeing up a late £89m move for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, according to a report.

The France international, who started two of his national side's games at the World Cup this summer, has previously been touted as a target for Chelsea.

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo claims that Arsenal are now contenders to sign the 21-year-old, however, and they are willing to go big with their offer.

Dembele was used just 17 times in his debut campaign at Camp Nou due to a long-term injury problem, and he is likely to be used sparingly in 2018-19 following the arrival of Malcom.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery will reportedly tempt Barca to cash in on a player that cost £135m to sign 12 months ago, as he seeks one further addition for his forward line.

France boss Didier Deschamps recently criticised Dembele for his "unacceptable behaviour" when forcing through a move to Barcelona.
