Arsenal are reportedly considering a January bid for Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele, who has also been linked with Liverpool.

Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Ousmane Dembele's situation at Barcelona ahead of a possible January bid for the winger.

Dembele began the season with five goals in his first six Barcelona outings across all competitions, but he has scored just once since September 18 and has lost his place in the team as a result.

The France international has not started a league game since September, and manager Ernesto Valverde has reportedly grown frustrated at the youngster's ill-discipline.

Mundo Deportivo claims that Arsenal are keeping a keen eye on developments and considering a move should Dembele's relationship with Valverde deteriorate further.

Arsenal's head of recruitment Sven Mislintat previously signed Dembele for Borussia Dortmund in 2016 and the pair are understood to enjoy a good relationship.

Liverpool have also recently been linked with an £85m approach for the 21-year-old.
