The head of recruitment for Arsenal FC, Sven Mislintat has settled down with representatives of the Spanish player to try and work out a deal.
The Spanish outlet, claims that Mislintat has been in constant contact with Dembele from the time they were together at Borussia Dortmund. The 21 year aged player has made just 12 starts in La Liga for Barcelona this season after his £97m transfer last summer form his former club, Dortmund. The player has struggled for game time before Philippe Coutinho’s awesome arrival from Liverpool.
The new Arsenal Boss, Unai Emery is looking forward to strengthening the club, this summer after taking over from Arsene Wenger at the Emirates. Wenger finally left the club, after heading it for 22 years, at the end of the season.
It was a really disappointing and mournful competition for the Gunners as they ended down in the sixth position in the English Premier League, hoisting an ambiguous 37 points behind the champions of the league, Man City.
From the reports, there are claims that Barcelona FC may be a bit hesitant in putting up a permanent sale after the great expense in shipping the forward to the club. But still, Arsenal could still accept taking Dembele on a short time loan deal as Emery is determined to wall up himself.
Former striker Kevin Campbell told ESPN FC, “They need the experience courage and toughness because that is all that the club has lacked ever since. Those abilities and also being able to go away and slam out a victory unto one of your rivals, Arsenal FC haven't done that in years. So you see, that type of experience together with knowledge is just the perfect key.”
