Lyon fear losing star duo Dembele and Aouar as Premier League giants circle

Olympique Lyon fear losing star duo Moussa Dembele and Houssem Aouar.

L'Equipe says Dembele remains a top target for Premier League clubs Manchester United and Chelsea, despite the ongoing coronavirus outbreak casting doubt over the schedule and threatening financial problems.

Aouar has also caught the eye of potential suitors with Manchester City and Juventus interested in the 21-year-old.

Aouar made the decision to not leave Lyon last summer as he wanted to make a bid for France's EURO 2020 squad. However, with the tournament postponed for 12 months due to the COVID-19 virus, he is reportedly looking for a move away.

Both players have mightily impressed this season in Ligue 1, with Dembele scoring 16 goals in 27 matches and Aouar grabbing a handful of goals and assists.
