Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham set to battle over red-hot French striker
OUSMANE DEMBELE is a target for a whole host of Premier League clubs, according to reports.
Dembele is one of France's most highly rated prospects
Dembele scored a first-half hat-trick last night as Rennes beat Nantes 4-1 in the Brittany derby.
French football outlet GFFN are claiming that scouts from as many as six Premier League clubs were in attendance including Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.
The north London club are also keen to add another striker to their squad as an injury to Harry Kane would leave them with only Son Heung-min as a recognised centre-forward.
However, Spurs will face competition from across Europe and Arsene Wenger's contacts in France and record of raising young French players may prove to be the difference in any bidding war.
