Arsenal 'weighing up Moussa Dembele move'

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a move to sign Lyon striker Moussa Dembele in this summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old is currently on loan with Atletico Madrid but, after a frustrating time in Spain, the La Liga leaders are unlikely to activate a £30m option to buy the player permanently.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal have recently expressed their interest in Dembele, who Lyon now value at around £25m.

Head coach Mikel Arteta has already hinted at a busy summer transfer window as he looks to turn the club's fortunes around next season.

The Gunners are also reportedly aiming to raise up to £60m from player sales, with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah two strikers who could be heading for the exit door, potentially paving the way for Dembele to join the club this summer.

Dembele – who had suffered with several injuries and contracted coronavirus this campaign – has only scored one goal this term, but did find the net 24 times in all competitions for Lyon last season.
