Ousmane Dembele to Liverpool: Barcelona star told to join Reds after Tottenham heroics
LIVERPOOL fans were sent into meltdown on social media this evening following Ousmane Dembele’s performance for Barcelona against Tottenham.
The France forward starred at the Nou Camp and gave the Catalan club the lead.
Dembele picked up the ball on the halfway line before using his pace to blow away the Tottenham defence.
And he went on to give Hugo Lloris no chance in the Spurs goal with his finish.
Liverpool have been linked with a transfer for Dembele and fans went into meltdown on social media over the 21-year-old.
One tweeted: “Dembele is an amazing player, going to be incredible signing for Liverpool or Arsenal this Jan.”
Another said: “Sign up Dembele for Liverpool. He's not appreciated at Barcelona still.”
A third added: “Come to Liverpool Dembele.”
Dembele has been in trouble at Barcelona recently after missing a training session at the Catalan club.
And that has led to speculation the France star could be sold this January.
As well as Liverpool, Arsenal have been linked with Dembele but any move would reportedly require his mammoth release clause to be invoked.
That would cost Liverpool a whopping £360million.
Liverpool already have a potent front three consisting of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
But Dembele would add yet another dimension to Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Dembele joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017.
