Aubameyang to lure Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele to Arsenal

Aubameyang(l) and Dembele(r) played together at Borussia Dortmund

Earlier in the summer, Barcelona star, Ousmane Dembele had been linked with a move to Arsenal, but eventually, no move materialised and he remained in Spain. Despite failing to sign him then, the Gunners have reportedly remained interested in the Frenchman.

According to reports from Sport, Arsenal have already made a second enquiry about Dembele's situation at Barcelona and reportedly plan to continue monitoring him. Unai Emery is believed to be keen on signing the 21-year-old winger, who happens to be close friends with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Additionally, another factor that could play to Arsenal's benefit, is that former Barcelona director, Raul Sanllehi, began working at Arsenal earlier this year.

On the other hand, Dembele's behavioural concerns could prompt Barcelona to consider a potential deal, should Arsenal decide to move on their intentions.
