Man United joined by West Ham in race to land Lyon’s Moussa Dembele

Dembele, 24, joined Lyon in the summer of 2018 from Scottish giants Celtic in a move which cost the Ligue 1 side £19.8m, as per TransferMarkt.

The young French forward has emerged as one of Europe’s most talented attackers after boasting a goalscoring record of 126 in 275 matches in all competitions across three different countries.

Despite a largely successful two-years with Lyon with the club’s most notable achievement being reaching the semi-finals in last season’s Champions League, Dembele could be headed for the exit.

According to a recent report from The Sun, Lyon’s attacker is a transfer target for both United and West Ham as both sides look to reinforce their front lines.

However, it is understood that the Ligue 1 club are holding out for £30m plus bonuses for their leading attacker, a fee which could hamper West Ham’s chances of landing Moyes’ key target.
