Arsenal, Leicester City and Manchester United joined by Barcelona in battle for French starlet

Barcelona are pondering a move for Arsenal, Manchester United and Leicester City target Ousmane Dembele.

 

The Spanish club have been keeping tabs on the Rennes prodigy this season and, according to reports in Spain, their sporting director Robert Fernandez was in attendance on Sunday for the French side's game against Nantes.

And Fernandez would have been suitably impressed with the 18-year-old forward as he scored a hat-trick in the 4-1 win.

Now El Mundo Deportivo have claimed that the performance has moved Dembele higher up Barca's wish list and they could make their move this summer.

But they will face strong competition from within England with all three Premier League clubs well aware of the French teenager's immense potential.
