Reported Arsenal target Moussa Dembele seems to have suggested on Twitter that he plans to be at Lyon next season.

The former Celtic striker has stated on the social networking site that he is always focused on Lyon.

The Frenchman – described by former Celtic striker Chris Sutton as “a big game player” on Twitter last month – moved to the Ligue 1 outfit from the Hoops in the summer of 2018.

French publication L’Equipe reported in late May that Arsenal are interested in signing the 23-year-old from Lyon in the summer transfer window.

It was reported that should Alexandre Lacazette move to Inter Milan this summer, then the Gunners will look at bringing Dembele to the Emirates Stadium.

The former Fulham striker was brilliant during his time at Celtic, and he has been superb for Lyon as well.

According to WhoScored, Dembele scored 16 goals and provided two assists in Ligue 1 this season, and scored 15 goals and provided four assists in the league in 2018-19 for Lyon.

While the striker would be a brilliant signing for Arsenal, it seems that he is focused on Lyon at the moment, as suggested by the following post on Twitter.
