Chelsea send officials for highly rated wide forward, could replace €28m star

French club Rennes have confirmed that Chelsea officials were present during their match with Marseille.

Earlier this season it was reported that Chelsea are scouting the French wonderkid from Rennes, Ousmane Dembele and it is believed that the Blues were running the rule over the young forward again this week.

Dembele is one of the most highly rated young talents in Ligue 1 and has attracted a lot of interest from several clubs including Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea need to add goals to their side this season and it makes sense that they are scouting a talented wide forward in Dembele.
