News on transfers: Arsenal is called to act for the "quality" Ousmane Dembele despite the problems of Barcelona

Ousmane Dembele would be a "quality" rookie for Arsenal, Ray Parlor said. The French international is an outstanding talent despite his difficulties in Barcelona.

The 21-year-old winger was taken to Camp Nou to help cover the loss of Neymar on Paris Saint-Germain.

He found that the situation was difficult in Catalonia, with problems of injury and a questioning of his attitude, which gave rise to suggestions that another transfer of important funds could be envisaged.

The Emirates Stadium is considered a possible landing place and Arsenal was urged to react if an opportunity arose.

The former star of Gunners Parlor is not too concerned about the troubles of Dembele in Barca. Daily Star winner of the World Cup: "He is a quality player.

"It would definitely bring more quality to the team. This is the kind of player you need to watch.

"I think they're also looking at the bottom – how would it affect the locker room? Will he go out of his way and work hard?

"It's up to the people who are now buying players to investigate his character. I'm sure they know a lot of guys who have dealt with him.

"He is a quality player, so if Emery could handle his personality, he would certainly improve the team and the team."
