This latest rumour emerged today, seemingly from nowhere.
BREAKING: Chelsea are considering a move to sign Lyon striker Moussa Dembele.

There’s no telling just how accurate it is, but it’s certainly a rather interesting prospect.
He netted 15 in 56 for Fulham as a youngster, mainly in the Championship. then 26 in 55 for Celtic.
After that he got his big move – to Lyon, where he has 25 in 51. One can assume with a few more games under his belt he’d reach about 30.
That shows a steadily increasing goal return every year, from a player who is still only 23 but has 162 senior appearances to his name already.
Of course he would be rotating with Tammy Abraham a lot, but we’re looking for an option who is young and patient enough to play every game, and Dembele might just be that man. His steadily improving goal return would likely take another jump as he joins a top of the table team too.
What do you make of this potential signing?
