Chelsea’s £34m bid for Dembele rejected
By Saheed Ibrahim
Chelsea have had a £34m bid for Lyon’s Moussa Dembele rejected, with Lyon confident of keeping hold of their Striker in the transfer window.
The former Celtic forward, who has scored 30 goals since moving to Ligue 1 for £20m 18 months ago, has been one of the options for Chelsea this January.
It was gathered Chelsea were willing to pay up to £34m for the 23-year-old, but the French club had not released a statement outlining their intent not to let Dembele leave.

Dembele enjoyed a successful spell with Celtic after joining the club from Fulham in 2016 under former boss Brendan Rodgers.
He won two Scottish premierships, two league cups and two scottish cups at Parkhead before a move to Lyon in August 2018.
