EKO HOT BLOG reports that Chelsea has suffered another transfer blow from Barcelona after they reached an agreement with Ousmane Dembele over a new contract.

The Blues are desperate to reinforce their attacking options ahead of next season despite already having a number of wide players.

Thomas Tuchel has not been impressed by his current crop, which includes substandard campaigns from Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech.

There are several players being linked with a Stamford Bridge switch including Raphinha, Raheem Sterling and even Cristiano Ronaldo. But one deal that looked like it could have been pulled off is that of Dembele.

The Frenchman is a free agent after his contract expired at Barcelona at the end of the month. Tuchel knows the player well from his time at Borussia Dortmund and a transfer was heavily tipped.
