Chelseas Football Club have perfected a plan to seal a deal for Lyon striker, Moussa Dembele as the January transfer window opens tomorrow.

Sky Sports reports that Dembele has scored 25 goals since moving to Ligue 1 from Celtic for £20m 18 months ago.

 

The decision by Blues management to secure Dembele follows reports that Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi might leave Chelsea during the transfer window.

 

It was gathered that Lampard sees similarities between Dembele and former Chelsea forward Didier Drogba.

 

Dembele enjoyed a successful spell with Celtic after joining the club from Fulham in 2016 under former boss Brendan Rodgers.

 

The 23-year-old won two Scottish Premierships, two League Cups and two Scottish Cups at Parkhead before a move to Lyon in August 2018. He has scored 10 goals in 25 appearances for Lyon so far this season.
