It's been a season to remember for Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele, who has a remarkable 32 goals and eight assists in 42 games in all competitions.
Often criticised in the past for being inconsistent and lacking end-product, Dembele is now in the form of his life and this has made the Premier League's top clubs stand up and take notice.
Sources have revealed to CaughtOffside that Arsenal are one of his biggest admirers, along with Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.
PSG, however, want to give the France international a new contract, so one imagines it's going to be very difficult to get him out of the Parc des Princes.
Ousmane Dembele could be a dream signing for Arsenal – and they'll get a closer look at him in the Champions League semi-finals
Arsenal have just made it through to the Champions League semi-finals, where they'll take on Dembele's PSG.
This will give the Gunners a chance to get a closer look at him, though fans will of course be hoping the 27-year-old has a bit of an off-day in these games.
Dembele was a real handful when he helped PSG knock Liverpool out of the Champions League, with pundit Joe Cole describing him as "unstoppable" after that tie.
Speaking on TNT Sports after the game, Cole said: "In Dembele, they've got probably the most in-form player, let alone winger, in European football. And when he's on form, with his attributes, he's unstoppable."
Capable of playing out wide or up front, Dembele could be ideal to help Arsenal add more fire-power to their front three next season.
The former Barcelona man could likely be an upgrade on inconsistent duo Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, and his presence would make Mikel Arteta's side less reliant on Bukayo Saka.
Liverpool would surely also do well to bring in Dembele, who could give them something a bit different and an upgrade on attacking players like Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.
United, meanwhile, would surely struggle to attract someone like Dembele if they're not in Europe next season, but there's no doubt he'd be a terrific addition to Ruben Amorim's squad as a major upgrade on flops and misfits like Marcus Rashford and Antony.
