Arsenal have reportedly made contact with La Liga champions Barcelona about the availability of forward Ousmane Dembele.
French source L'Equipe (h/t Sport) has said the Gunners' head of recruitment Sven Mislintat has kept up "continuous contact" with the player. Sport has reported Dembele is aware of Mislintat sitting down with Barca, although the France international remains committed to "concentrating on the World Cup."
Mislintat helped old club Borussia Dortmund sign Dembele from Rennes in 2016. The precocious attacker spent one season in the Bundesliga before sealing a move to the Camp Nou worth £135.
