Barcelona Star Ready to Join Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge

• Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele has widely been linked with a move to the Premier League
• Chelsea are believed to be firm favourites to land the Frenchman who has rediscovered his form under Xavi
• However, Dembele is said to want assurances over playing time if he is to make a move to Stamford Bridge
• The winger and Blues boss Thomas Tuchel have previously worked together at Borussia Dortmund

Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele is reportedly willing to join Chelsea this summer.

Dembele has endured a frustrating spell with the Calatan giants since joining them from Borussia Dortmund.

His career at Camp Nou has been littered with a raft of challenges ranging from disciplinary breaches to lack of fitness.

However, Metro UK reports the Frenchman appeared to rediscover the form that convinced Barcelona to fork out £117million for him back in 2017 last season.

It is for this reason the La Liga giants are said to be desperate to have him renew his contract with them.

Ousmane Dembele prepared to move to Chelsea

But according to The Sun, the 25-year-old is prepared to depart this summer, with a move to Chelsea on the cards.

It is understood Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is keen to add Dembele within his ranks as he pushes to build a formidable team that can challenge Man City and Liverpool for titles.

Both Tuchel and Dembele have worked together before at Dortmund, and the Blues boss is convinced the winger can aid his quest to fight for the Premier League title.

On his part, Dembele is said to be keen to reunite with his former manager but wants to be sure he will be given a key first-team role as he is unwilling to warm the bench.
