Arsenal favourites to land Barcelona’s wantaway winger Ousmane Dembele
French winger has asked to leave the Nou Camp in January after struggling to settle since his move from Borussia Dortmund
ARSENAL lead their Premier League rivals in the race for Barcelona's wantaway forward Ousmane Dembele, according to the bookies.
The Frenchman has reportedly asked Barca's board to allow him to leave the Nou Camp in January.
The 21-year-old's attitude and diet have been criticised since joining the Catalan giants.
And the Gunners lead the bookies market to sign Dembele at just 7/4 - after they were strongly linked with a move in the summer.
Liverpool are narrowly second favourites at 9/4 after their interest has been reported in recent weeks.
Meanwhile the likes of Tottenham, Manchester United, Man City and Chelsea have also been priced up by the bookies.

Alex Apati of said: "Dembele wants out and it looks like the youngster is Premier League bound with Arsenal leading the race for his signature."
Despite his unhappiness, the former Borussia Dortmund star has scored seven goals in 16 games for Barcelona in all competitions this term.
This was after his debut season with the La Liga champions was hindered with a serious hamstring injury.
