go head-to-head with their arch-rivals Manchester
United for the services of Lyon striker Moussa
Dembele this summers transfer window.
However, English teams were rumoured with the 23-year-
old throughout the winter transfer window, however, the
former Fulham starlet ultimately remained with his French
team.
There remains widespread speculation surrounding the
future of 23-year-old forward, though, and according
to The Mirror, the Blues are ready to battle the Red Devils
for his services at the end of the 2019-20 season.
The report suggests that Lyon value Dembele around
£60m with the attacker impressing since arriving at the
club from Scottish giants Celtic in the summer of 2018.
In all competitions, the ex-France Under-21 international
has found back of the net 38 times in 79 appearences for
Les Gones, including 18 goals in 33 games during the
2019-20 season.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea are currently short in
the final third of the field, although the Red Devils secured
a six-month loan deal for Nigerian forward, Odion Ighalo
before the winter transfer window closed for business and
also added Bruno Fernandes for their midfield area, while
the Blues have failed to make any new additions during
the winter transfer window.
