Liverpool and Tottenham should consider re-igniting interest in Ousmane Dembele.
Ousmane Dembele
French wonderkid Ousmane Dembele should have Premier League sides on red alert after expressing his displeasure at Thomas Tuchel’s departure from Borussia Dortmund.
He was quoted by Goal telling openly how upset he was at the Tuchel’s exit, ust 12 months after he signed him for the club.
He said: “I’m disappointed because he is a coach who trusted me a lot. He was always there for me and brought me on a lot. He is a very good coach with whom I had a great time.”

Dembele was Europe’s most wanted youngster last season after a stunning season at Rennes.
His form saw Tottenham Hotspur open negotiations to try and buy him, The Sun reported, while SkySports reported that Dembele rejected the chance to sign for Liverpool.
ESPN reported that Barcelona are showing interest in Dembele this summer, and if Tottenham and Liverpool were smart too they also would try and tempt him away.

Unlike Barcelona, both Spurs and Liverpool need to add wingers, with Liverpool currently chasing Mohamed Salah but without success so far.
Tottenham have attempted to sign Wilfried Zaha and been linked with several other options but are yet to make their move.
Dembele is just 20-years-old and would be perfect for either club.
In his first season in the Bundesliga he tore it up, scoring six goals and providing 13 assists.
Adding in appearances in the Champions League and German Cup, Dembele finished the season with 10 goals and 21 assists.
Given the slightest hint that he could be unhappy at Dortmund, both Liverpool and Spurs should be knocking on the German club’s door asking them to name their price.
