Ousmane Dembele rejects transfer to Arsenal and Tottenham after Barcelona star is offered to Premier League rivals

OUSMANE DEMBELE has snubbed interest from Arsenal and Tottenham, according to reports.

The Frenchman has been linked with both North London clubs during the January transfer window.

Dembele, 24, has entered the final six months of his Barcelona contract and has shown no indications of being willing to sign a new one.

The Catalan side would like to sell him today, rather than lose him on a free transfer in the summer.

But a deal is now appearing less and less likely.

Dembele has been offered to Premier League sides including Arsenal and Spurs.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Dembele has no interest in joining Arsenal as part of a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or otherwise.

While L'Equipe add that Spurs were keen on negotiating a deal, but the player himself didn't want to join Antonio Conte's side.

It looked like the former Borussia Dortmund star would end up at Paris Saint-Germain this morning, only for a potential deal to be thwarted by Financial Fair Play regulations.

Dembele would have been more interested in linking up with his former Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea.

But the Blues, as well as Manchester United, never entered the race for his signature.

Should he remain at Barcelona for the rest of the season, Dembele could move on a free transfer in the summer – with PSG likely to retain their interest.
