Dembele’s performances have attracted interests from top clubs around Europe over the last few months, and The Sun now claim that Arsenal have joined the race for snap up the youngster as a long-term replacement for Alexis Sanchez.
But they will face stiff competition from a number of big boys, with Chelsea, Liverpool, City and Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain also have placed scouts to watch him in action against Rangers.
Arsene Wenger is well-known for his knack of signing the best young talents, and this could give Arsenal a little advantage in persuading Dembele.
The £30 million-rated frontman was in high demand during the January window, and although Celtic would do everything they can to keep hold of their prized asset, it seems only a matter of time before he is lured back to the top flight of English football to prove himself at a higher level.
