Chelsea are monitoring a potential move for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele ahead of the January transfer window, according to recent reports. The Frenchman is said to have a release clause in his contract with the Blaugrana, which could be triggered by the Blues.
Chelsea were linked with Dembele last January, but missed out on a deal as his contract dwindled with the Spanish giants. Despite reports, then manager Thomas Tuchel claimed: "I did not have contact with Ousmane. There was no contact in winter."
The summer offered another opportunity as the 25-year-old was officially a free agent, but a new two-year contract with Barcelona was eventually signed. The winger has recaptured some of his form this season as he looks to shake off his long running injury issues.
