Werner preference for Liverpool switches Chelsea focus to Lyon striker Dembele

Chelsea have turned their attention towards Lyon forward Moussa Dembele after missing out on Timo Werner.

The Blues are convinced Werner will leave RB Leipzig for Liverpool in the summer.

And now Dembele is tops Chelsea's forward shortlist, according to The Athletic.

The Frenchman has scored 16 times in 27 league appearances this season.

Dembele, 23, got his break at Fulham, moving on Celtic before joining Lyon in 2018.

Frank Lampard is desperate to bolster his attacking corps to elevate the pressure on Tammy Abraham.
