Arsenal Join Host Of Premier League Clubs In Race For In-form French Starlet

Arsenal’s MVP Alexis Sanchez was once again at his best this weekend as his brace at either side of the half-time break at the Emirates gave the Gunners three important points from their game against Hull City on Saturday.

The manager will be relatively pleased with the performance of his side against the Tigers but he will know that the recent results have exposed a couple of weaknesses in the side that are to be addressed in the summer.

Wenger has been busy recently scouting for transfer targets who could make his squad stronger and this has seen him linked with some of the best players in Europe.

The manager wants to improve more than a couple of positions in the team at the club but the striker’s position seems to be of utmost importance. And Wenger is now eyeing Celtic striker Moussa Dembele this summer.

According to reports from the Mirror, Arsenal are now desperate for attacking additions yet against this summer and are ready to make a move for the French U20 international at the end of the season.

The 20-year old, who is enjoying a productive year under Brendan Rodgers at Celtic, is now among the most exciting stars in Europe and is wanted by a host of Premier League clubs this summer.

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are all linked with a move for him in the summer but Wenger is confident of being able to lure him to the Emirates at the end of the season.

According to the reports, the 20-year old will cost more than £40m in the summer but neither of the aforementioned clubs will budge in meeting the asking price for the star in the summer.

Dembele joined Celtic in June last year from Fulham for just £5m but his return in the league and cup competitions this season has seen his price rise to the sky in no time.

He has 12 league goals in 22 appearances for the Glasgow based outfit and has also helped his side in the Scottish Cup, scoring a hat-trick recently.

He is among the best in the business at the moment and his manager Brendan Rodgers is adamant that he is not up for sale in the summer.

However, the host of Premier League clubs will hope to lure him away and Arsene Wenger is expected to be one of the clubs who will fight for his signature.

Do you think Dembele is the right option for Arsenal next season?
