Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The first player Chelsea\u2019s new owner, Todd Boehly, wants to sign for the club has been revealed.<\/p>\n

According to Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea plans to make Barcelona star, Ousmane Dembele, their first signing of the Boehly era.<\/p>\n

Dembele is out of contract next month with Barcelona and has a host of suitors, including Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Barcelona still retains a slim hope of agreeing to a new deal with Dembele, but their perilous financial situation renders that unlikely and Chelsea are now in a position to pounce.<\/p>\n

Dembele came close to leaving Barcelona in January before a dramatic late U-turn and played a key role in his side\u2019s improvement under manager Xavi which helped secure Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

However, Chelsea are \u2018quietly confident\u2019 of beating the likes of PSG, among others, to the signing of the France international this summer.<\/p>\n

The Blues are ready to do business again with Boehly\u2019s \u00a34.25billion takeover due to finally go through on Monday, having been operating under a special licence from the UK Government since previous owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned in March.<\/p>\n

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, is keen to strengthen in a number of areas over the summer, yet doubts over Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic\u2019s futures mean attacking reinforcements are top of the agenda.<\/p>\n

Tuchel worked with Dembele during their time at Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
