Ousmane Dembele is waiting until after his holiday to make a decision over his future, a source has told football.london. Chelsea have held talks with the Frenchman's entourage over a free transfer this summer and the Blues are confident they can get the deal over the line.
Dembele sees his contract with Barcelona expire at the end of the month and he is set to become a free agent when it does. The 25-year-old winger is very much admired by Thomas Tuchel, who coached the France international during their days at Borussia Dortmund.
"He's a very good player and I am very fortunate to have trained him in my time at Dortmund," Tuchel said on Dembele when asked about the winger earlier in the year. "It was only one year, it should have been longer, but I needed to leave and he decided to leave."
