Arsenal join race for Fulham’s Dembele – report

Matt Stead

Arsenal are reported to have joined the race to sign Fulham teenager Moussa Dembele.

Dembele is out of contract at Craven Cottage this summer, with a host of big clubs queuing up to secure the 19-year-old’s signature.

The striker came close to joining Tottenham in January but transfer hit a late snag.

Now, according to ESPN, Arsenal have registered their interest in the former PSG youth player.

Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United, Juventus, Galatasaray and Napoli have all been credited with an interest, while Chelsea invited Dembele to watch April’s clash with Manchester City as their guest at Stamford Bridge.

Dembele scored 15 Championship goals for Fulham last season. The forward joined the Cottagers from PSG as a 16-year-old.
