Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Rennes striker Ousmane Dembele, who has today revealed his dream of one day joining Barcelona.
"It would be a dream to play for Barcelona," he told beIn Sports. The Spanish league is really competitive. I like the German league, too, it’s really attacking.
"I’m inspired by Neymar and Messi. They’re great players. I try to follow their games and copy what they do in training."
Meanwhile, Essex newspaper Brentwood Gazette claim West Ham have set their sights on a shock move for Gunners forward Theo Walcott.
The Hammers are reportedly keen to secure a marquee signing ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium next season are are willing to spend £26million on the England international.
The 26-year-old has struggled to hold onto a first-team spot at the north London club, with both Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck favoured as a centre-forward.
And finally, Arsene Wenger is reportedly set to battle Manchester City for the signature of Sevilla midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak in the summer.
The Sun claim Wenger will table a £25m bid for the Poland international in preparation for the departures of Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini.
The Frenchman will, however, face competition from Pep Guardiola, who has set his sights on the 26-year-old ahead of his summer move to the Etihad.
