City join hunt for promising France youngster

 

Manchester City have joined the lengthy list of admirers in Rennes youngster Ousmane Dembele, reports the Mail on Sunday.

 

The 18-year-old has been a revelation for the Ligue 1 side this season, netting 10 goals and registering a further five assists from 19 league outings, contributing to a WhoScored rating of 7.77.

 

City have since joined the race to secure his services, but face fierce competition from Bayern Munich and Barcelona, among others.

Reports last week suggested Rennes had turned down a €35m approach from Barcelona for his services, with the Ligue 1 outfit rightly demanding more for the prodigious attacker.

 

However, they will likely struggle to retain the services of Dembele, who continues to impress for his club.
