The Liverpool-linked Lyon ace would be perfect for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be looking to bolster his ranks this summer, in an effort to build a squad who are capable of making a more sustained push for the Premier League title next season.
One particular area where the Spurs boss will want to strengthen is his centre-forward department, with more competition and cover required for Harry Kane.
And with this in mind, Tottenham should consider a move for Lyon hitman Moussa Dembele, who has been attracting attention from Liverpool, according to the Mirror.
The 22-year-old impressed in his debut season for Lyon, racking up 20 goals and six assists in 46 appearances in all competitions, and that kind of attacking output is exactly what Spurs need to help lift the burden from Harry Kane’s shoulders.
He has proven that he can be a success in English football, scoring 19 goals for Fulham three years ago, and with his blistering pace, he would provide Tottenham with an entirely different option through the middle in the final third.
According to Goal, Dembele could be available for just €40 million (£35 million) this summer, and that would see him fit right into Spurs’ transfer policy of buying young talented players for reasonable fees.
The Frenchman is at an age were he will only continue to improve, and if Pochettino manages to bring him to north London this summer, beating Liverpool to his signature in the process, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for Tottenham.
