Man United, Chelsea 'handed Moussa Dembele boost'

Lyon are reportedly prepared to sell in-demand forward Moussa Dembele at the end of the season.

Both Manchester United and Chelsea were linked with the 23-year-old in January, but the former Fulham youngster ultimately remained with his French club.

The Premier League duo will allegedly re-ignite their interest during this summer's transfer window, and according to L'Equipe, Lyon are ready to sell the Frenchman at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

The report claims that the Ligue 1 side are actively searching for a replacement, although the Les Gones are said to be looking for an offer of around £60m before sanctioning a sale.

Dembele has been in impressive form at club level during the 2019-20 campaign, finding the back of the net on 19 occasions in 35 appearances in all competitions.

The striker also managed 51 goals in 94 outings for Celtic ahead of a switch to Ligue 1.
