Chelsea have reportedly been put on alert as Ousmane Dembele looks to push for a transfer away from Borussia Dortmund amid links with Manchester United and Barcelona, Metro has revealed.
The article describes the 20-year-old as "one of the best young players in Europe".
Earlier this week, Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc declared that the player is part of Peter Bosz's plans for next season.
"Ousmane Dembele has a long-term contract [until 2021] and we are making definite plans with him," Zorc told German newspaper Waz.
"There are no negotiations [with Barca]. Ousmane is going to be playing for Dortmund in the coming season."
But recent reports have claimed that the 20-year-old wants to leave the club to embark on a new experience in a different league.
Barcelona continue to be strong favourites to sign the youngster but the two Premier League clubs are keeping a close eye on the situation.
