Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Chelsea star, Glen Johnson has urged the club to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona on a free transfer this summer.<\/p>\n

Dembele\u2019s future at Barcelona is uncertain as the France international could leave the Catalan club on a free transfer this summer.<\/p>\n

The former Borussia Dortmund star has been linked with a move to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in the past few days.<\/p>\n

Asked whether a move for Chelsea to sign Dembele on a free transfer is a no-brainer, Johnson told Bettingodds, \u201cI believe it\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have got to do some clever business. You can\u2019t just go out and spend top dollar for all the best players. If you can get players on the cheap or for free then it makes absolute sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to think, what would Dembele cost if he had four years left on his contract? So yes, I think if that sort of deal becomes available then you have to jump at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
