Arsenal Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Moussa Dembele and Jakub Jankto

Matt JonesMar 11, 2017

Arsenal are one of four Premier League clubs who will reportedly have scouts run the rule over Celtic's Moussa Dembele on Sunday.

The Scottish champions will take on rivals Rangers in what promises to be a fiery Old Firm contest at Celtic Park, with the forward anticipated to play a starring role. According to The Sun (h/t Mark Brus of Metro), the Gunners will have representatives in attendance to assess his efforts.

Dembele has blossomed since moving to Celtic, leading the line with distinction for Brendan Rodgers' team. In the Scottish Premier League he's grabbed 17 goals in 25 appearances, although as noted by Squawka Football, he's been in red-hot form recently:

The 20-year-old was on the books of Paris Saint-Germain in his youth before moving to Fulham and impressing in the Championship. But the move north of the border has really helped him to kick on.

Rodgers' side have been exceptional in the Scottish top flight this season, winning 26 and drawing one of their 27 matches. Dembele's linkup in the final third with the likes of Scott Sinclair and Stuart Armstrong has made them a thrilling team to watch, too.

Here's a look at some of his best moments from a memorable campaign:

Arsenal may need to strengthen their options up top in the summer. As noted by Brus, Alexis Sanchez has been linked with a potential exit, and his departure would leave a void at the point of the attack.

It's not a chasm Dembele is ready to fill quite yet so early in his career, although the potential is there for him to go a long way in the game. Playing matches is important, though, as has been evidenced by his development at Celtic. That must be his main priority if he's to depart in the summer.

Gunners Interested in Jakub Jankto

According to TransferMarketWeb (h/t James Benson of the Daily Star) Arsenal are scouting Udinese's exciting young midfielder Jakub Jankto.

In the report, it's suggested that the 21-year-old's impressive form so far this season has caught the eye of the Gunners. West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City are also said to be taking a good look at him.

The Czech Republic youth international spent the previous season on loan with Ascoli, and after shining there, he's managed to force his way into the Udinese first-team setup for the current campaign.

Here's a look at why there's some buzz building about Jankto:

As noted by sports journalist Luca Persico, Jankto is the crown jewel in a Udinese team that have a lot of talented young players to call upon:

Although he's not a player who would come in and immediately light up the Premier League, Jankto has shown a lot of class in his 19 appearances for Udinese this season. In the middle of the park, he's managed matches with composure for the Serie A side, showcasing an excellent passing range and incision when moving the ball forward.

His cerebral qualities and technical ability would make him a good fit for Arsenal's possession-based football. However, he's not ready to be pushing for a starting spot at the Emirates Stadium quite yet.
