Barcelona could push Ousmane Dembele out of the club in January.
Tottenham Hotspur didn’t sign anybody in the summer transfer window, and that may just suggest that they are preparing for a big January spending spree.
Mauricio Pochettino has his side competing, but Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Spurs on Monday night and their so far disastrous Champions League campaign shows that there is plenty still to do.
Spurs may pursue new faces in January after a dismal summer, and there is one exciting name being touted by bookmakers today – Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.
The former Rennes man starred for Borussia Dortmund, and forced through a £135million move to Barcelona last summer, as reported by BBC Sport.
Dembele suffered some injury problems last season, but ended the season with four goals and six assists before heading off to win the World Cup with France.
This term, the 21-year-old has been in and out of Ernesto Valverde’s side, and a new report from RAC1 claims that Barca may be tempted to sell Dembele in January.
Ladbrokes have been pricing up odds for Dembele’s next club, and Spurs fans may be surprised to see that Pochettino’s side are the 5/2 third favourites – even though the finances of a deal may be beyond Spurs.
Arsenal and Liverpool are the joint favourites at 2/1, with Manchester United at 4/1, whilst Manchester City and Chelsea are further back at 5/1 and 8/1, with a strong belief that, if Barcelona do sell Dembele, it will be to a Premier League club.

Arsenal – 2/1
Liverpool – 2/1
Tottenham – 5/2
Man United – 4/1
