Enquiries for Moussa Dembele apparently as he only has 6 months left on his contract

Where is he? Lyon?

That’s right. He was an unused sub at the weekend.

Seems to be gathering momentum, sadly only from the Birmingham Mail!

Dembele has played 6 games plus 8 as a sub and scored a couple.

Last season Demebele scored 21 in just 30 league games. Has previous experience of UK playing for Celtic where he was highly rated.

Can certainly do worse replacing Ings than him.

Watkins, Dembele and Duran up to summer fits in how we want the forward line to be energetic and press at least.

He was at Fulham as well wasn’t he, think they were in the Premiership at the time as well but he was less successful there.

He was only 17 when he went there and 20 when he left. Just a kid.

Was 1 in 3 in his full season with them, and he was 20/21 at that point

Was only about 18-19 in fairness. Sure he'll have a few tales about McCormack.

A couple of Lyon fans are very happy he might be leaving & have slated him for his shit play & big stack bully scoring record. Could be something in that. Or they could be bitter he is leaving. Although thats not like the French... The truth us probably somewhere in the middle tbh.

The last player we signed from Lyon didn't do too badly and I think their fans said similar things about him at the time.

Jean Makoun wasn’t great.

( I’ve missed someone obvious haven’t I?)

TeamTalk reckons he’s available fairly cheap (contract expires in the summer) and Emery tried to sign him for both PSG and Villarreal. Which might mean it’s a lazy link or might mean it wouldn’t be at all surprising if we were after him.

The last Lyon player we signe was Bertrand Traore I think.

The Jonathan David link seems to have stemmed from one bloke on Twitter who has himself said he has now been lied to so that can be canned.

One of the worst things about the transfer windows is the amount of idiots that crop up on various media and social media platforms claiming to be ITK or have information from their 'sources'.  Of course, it nearly always turns out to be complete horseshit.
