Arsenal ‘consider transfers for Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard to replace Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah’


ARSENAL are putting together a shortlist reportedly including Odsonne Edouard and Moussa Dembele as part of their summer overhaul.

Mikel Arteta has hinted at a very busy transfer window currently under construction at the Emirates following a disappointing campaign.

Last night, SunSport revealed that Hector Bellerin is among the stars on the chopping block.

And Alexandre Lacazette, Matteo Guendouzi, David Luiz and more are being readied for a move.

According to the Telegraph, French striker Lacazette could be joined by Eddie Nketiah in leaving this summer, with two stars eyed as replacements.

Lyon forward Dembele, 24, has spent the second half of the season on loan at Atletico Madrid but is yet to score for the LaLiga leaders.

Still yet to start for his new club, the Frenchman can move for a pre-agreed £30million fee in the summer but his poor form and fitness issues make that an increasingly unlikely option.

Dembele remains under contract at Lyon for another two years yet is reportedly available for around £25m should Atleti let him go.

A slightly cheaper option, at around £15m to £20m, is said to be Celtic star Edouard.

The SPFL runners-up may seek to cash in on the 23-year-old ahead of his contract expiring in 2022.

The striker has hit 21 goals in all competitions for the Glasgow outfit this season.

But any Arsenal approach may come up against fierce competition from Leicester, who are also thought to be keen and are set to be able to offer Champions League football next season.

The Gunners maintain an outside shot at a Europa League or Europa Conference League finish and travel to high-flying Chelsea on Wednesday.
