Chelsea and Manchester City are being linked with Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele.

El Desmarqe says Dembele's agent, Moussa Sissoko, has "met with executives from Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City".

This has not gone down well with Barca, who are now keen to ship him out at the end of the season.

But with Chelsea now cleared to loosen the purse strings after Christmas, they could move in for a cut-price deal for the Frenchman.

Chelsea are now free to bring players in when the transfer window re-opens in January.
