Ousmane Dembele is yet to score or assist for PSG, but that hasn't stopped three Premier League clubs from expressing interest in the French World Cup winger. According to reports, Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham are all considering signing the 26-year-old from PSG on loan in the January transfer window.
Dembele joined PSG over the summer for £50million, but he has had a difficult start to life in Paris due to the incredibly tight competition among the forwards at the Parc des Princes. With Kylian Mbappe, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Marco Asensio, Bradley Barcola and Kang In Lee all vying for a place in the starting XI, the winger has yet to make an impact.
The Mirror reports that should Luis Enrique's support for Dembele change, the Ligue 1 giants will sanction a loan move for the player. The three London-based Premier League clubs are all monitoring the situation as they look to continue and build upon their strong starts to the season, with Arsenal and Tottenham still unbeaten ahead of Sunday's North London Derby.
Dembele first broke through at Rennes and then Dortmund, before moving to Barcelona in 2017 in a deal worth over £117m - at the time the second most expensive transfer in history. He was signed to fill the void left by Neymar, and while he scored a respectable 40 goals and made 43 assists in 185 games and won three La Liga titles, he struggled with injuries and consistency during his time at the Camp Nou.
A member of the France side that won the 2018 World Cup and finished runner-up four years later in Qatar, Dembele returned to his homeland over the summer - ironically to once again fill the void left by Neymar. It remains to be seen whether any of the three Premier League clubs will be able to secure a loan move for him in January, but they will certainly be keeping a close eye on the situation in Paris.
