Manchester United 'agree £62m deal for Moussa Dembele'

Manchester United reportedly agree a £62m deal for Lyon striker Moussa Dembele, beating Chelsea to the Frenchman's signature.

Manchester United have reportedly agreed a £62m deal with Lyon for striker Moussa Dembele.

The Frenchman enjoyed a stellar campaign with the Ligue 1 outfit before the season was cancelled amid the coronavirus pandemic, with Dembele netting 16 times in 27 league matches for Lyon.

Chelsea have also been strongly linked with a swoop for the former Celtic man, but United are understood to have won the race for Dembele's signature.

Todofichajes claims that a £61.8m bid has been accepted by Lyon, and the striker is preparing to move to Old Trafford ahead of the summer transfer window.

While Lyon have previously insisted that Dembele will not be sold, their failure to secure European football for next season means that they are supposedly ready to cash in on the 23-year-old.

Dembele has chalked up 42 goals in 88 appearances for Lyon since arriving from Celtic in 2018.
