According to Sport, Arsenal‘s head of recruitment Sven Mislintat has met with Blaugrana representatives and commenced talks over a remarkable deal that could see the 21-year-old move to the Emirates.
Mislintat has supposedly had ‘continuous contact’ with the player ever since he made his big-money switch from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
The youngster endured a frustrating first season with Ernesto Valverde’s men, effected partly by a long-term hamstring injury he suffered away to Getafe in September 2017.
Still, Dembele bounced back and managed a La Liga goal or assist every 103 minutes during his 17 run-outs for the champions.
