Arsenal are ready to challenge Chelsea for Celtic superkid Moussa Dembele.

The Mirror says Arsenal are to battle it out with Chelsea and Manchester City for Dembele's signature when the transfer window reopens at the end of the season.

Celtic will however not allow their star man to leave on the cheap.

They rebuffed all approaches for Dembele in January and are said to now value the forward at more than £40m.

There are still three-and-a-half years left to run on his current deal with the Bhoys.
