Mail Exclusive: Manchester United, Chelsea scout 17-year-old Malian winger Dembele, prepare for bidding war

Hupu reported on November 21 that the Daily Mail exclusively wrote a column for the U17 World Junior Championship.

Seydo Dembélé

Nationality: Mali Age: 17 years old Position: Attacking midfielder Club: JMG Youth Academy

Let's start with the most dazzling player. This midfielder attracted the attention of scouts at the World Junior Championships in Qatar.

Although Mali lost to Morocco in the round of 16, Dembele is still one of the most promising players in this World Junior Championship.

Chelsea has been favoring Dembele, who is 1.65 meters tall, for several months, and Manchester United's scouts are also paying close attention to him during this World Cup.

This left-footed attacking midfielder also likes to be active on the right. He is a very creative player and contributed 4 assists and 2 goals in this World Cup.

Dembele imitated Lamin Yamal's "304" celebration after knocking out Zambia. He has excellent physical fitness and can easily get rid of defenders with his low center of gravity. Although his talent is still untapped, this tournament should be enough to convince one of Europe's top clubs to go all out to sign him.

He came from the JMG youth academy, which also produced stars such as Yves Bissouma (Tottenham Hotspur), Rami Bensebaini (Borussia Dortmund) and Cheike Doucoure (Crystal Palace).

The battle for Dembele is about to begin...
