Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham are considering signing Ousmane Dembele from PSG on loan, according to reports.

Though the summer transfer window only closed a few weeks, clubs are already looking ahead to when the market reopens in January.

And it seems that a trio of London-based Premier League sides are interested in improving their forward line by bringing in one of the world’s most expensive footballers of all-time.

Dembele only joined PSG from Barcelona over the summer for £50million, but he has had a difficult start to life in Paris, failing to score and assist in his first five appearances.

Furthermore, competition among the forwards at the Parc des Princes is incredibly tight, with the winger up against Kylian Mbappe, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Marco Asensio, Bradley Barcola and Kang In Lee for a place in the starting XI.

Though the 26-year-old currently has the backing of manager Luis Enrique, The Mirror reports that should that change, the Ligue 1 giants will sanction a loan move for the player.

The Gunners, Spurs and the Irons are all monitoring the French World Cup winger’s situation as they look to continue and build upon their strong starts to the season.

After five games, all three clubs are in the top six, 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.
