A number of Arsenal fans have commented on the report in L’Equipe linking the Gunners to Lyon striker Moussa Dembele.

The 23-year-old has been in sensational form for the Ligue 1 club, claiming 22 goals and seven assists from 42 games in all competitions this season.

His overall tally for Lyon stands at 42 goals and 13 assists from 88 appearances, more than repaying the reported £20million fee the Ligue 1 club paid Celtic for his services in 2018.

Arsenal, meanwhile, face a difficult summer in the transfer window both in terms of potential incomings and possible outgoings, with uncertainty over the future of strike duo Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

L’Equipe claims that Inter Milan are looking at Lacazette, and although the former Lyon sharpshooter seemingly isn’t keen on a move to the Nerazzurri, Arsenal will look at Dembele as a potential replacement in case he changes his mind.

The report has added that the Gunners are in talks with the striker’s entourage and have scouted him this season, Le10 Sport claiming they were interested in him ahead of the January transfer window.
