Manchester United and Chelsea handed Moussa Dembele transfer boost by Lyon Chief Executive Jean-Michel Aulas

Manchester United and Chelsea handed Moussa Dembele transfer boost by Lyon Chief Executive Jean-Michel Aulas, according to Evening Standard via Le Proges. 

Both clubs are battling it out for a final Champions League spot in the Premier League this season, and are set to do battle in the transfer window also.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is in the market for a new striker, being forced to rely on Tammy Abraham too much during the majority of this season.

Lampard is reportedly on the lookout for new players.

United are in a similar boat, with Solskjaer forced to dip into the loan market in January signing Odion Ighalo to bolster his attacking options.

With a permanent goal-getter needed by both outfits, Lyon striker Moussa Dembele has proved he can score goals consistently at the highest level.

And Lyon chief Jean-Michel Aulas could have given both clubs a hint with this subtle hint:

“I am going to do everything to keep the players.

“But players who are programmed to play in Europe could want to go elsewhere because we don’t have European football.”
