Transfer gossip: More speculation over Dembele, Blues linked with Swiss forward
A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving the area’s clubs as the January window begins….
There is more speculation today over the future of Fulham’s Moussa Dembele, while Chelsea have been linked with FC Basel striker Breel Embolo.
Dembele, 19, has been linked with several European clubs while his representatives have been negotiating over a new contract for him at Fulham.
And Sky Sport Italia believe Juventus have identified him as a potential replacement for Simone Zaza, who has been tipped to join West Ham.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are lining up a deal to sign youngster Embolo, Metro claim.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also reported to have shown an interest in the 18-year-old, along with Juventus and Barcelona.
Chelsea are said to be ready to move for him during this month’s transfer window if Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao leave Stamford Bridge.
Basel are said to want around £20m for Embolo, who can operate on the wing as well as at centre-forward.

We already have good young strikers at the club who deserve a chance; Solanke, Bamford, so why spend £20 million on Embolo? Our youth policy is ridiculous. I’m now convinced that it’s just a farm to rear players to sell at a profit.
