The Lyon front-man would be a useful addition for Tottenham Hotspur.
Mauricio Pochettino seems to be intent on strengthening his ranks at Tottenham this summer.
He has already completed the signings of Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon and Jack Clarke from Leeds United.
And the Daily Star reckon that Real Betis ace Giovani Lo Celso and Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon could soon be on their way to north London.
It could be argued that Spurs really need to sign another striker, however, if they are to challenge for major honours this season.
And with this in mind, Tottenham should consider a move for Lyon hitman Moussa Dembele.
He’s young and might just be happy to serve as Harry Kane’s understudy
At just 23, the Frenchman is at an age where Pochettino will be able to mould him into the kind of player he wants at the club.
He has all the raw ingredients, and he would surely only improve under the guidance of the Argentine. Dembele might also be content with a bit-part role for the next season or two.
Explosive pace
The former Celtic man possesses pace in abundance. This would make him ideally suited to play up top for Tottenham, and he would provide Pochettino with an entirely different option what with his ability to make penetrating runs in behind the opposition’s defence.
Goal record
The Frenchman’s record in front of goal really is rather impressive.
He has bagged 102 in 220 career appearances, and that kind of goal ratio would surely prove to a real asset for the north London outfit.
Tottenham won’t have things all their own way in the race to sign the Lyon hitman, however, with Sky Sports reporting that Manchester United want to sign the Frenchman.
According to the Sun, it could take around £40 million to prise the 23-year-old away from Lyon, and considering Tottenham’s current financial situation, they would comfortably be able to afford that fee.
