Chelsea are reportedly looking at young Belgian winger Moussa Dembélé with a surprisingly high fee quoted at £15million. Dembélé won the Dutch league with Louis Van Gaal in an impressive season for the 21-year-old. Juventus and Sevilla are also said to be interested.

Dembélé began his professional career with K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot playing his first match at just 16 years of age.

In 2005 he moved to Willem II Tilburg, playing in the Eredivisie and scored 9 goals despite the club having a bad season.

At 19, after interest from Holland’s top clubs such as Ajax, Dembélé signed for AZ Alkmaar in the 2006 season when Van Gaal cited the youngster as one of his most important players.

During the 2008/2009 season, Dembélé was enjoying an excellent season but then was out injured from October until December with a knee injury.  After returning to play, Dembélé continued with very good performances and ended the campaign with 10 goals.

Dembélé began his full international career for Belgian in October 2006.  His career to-date stats are 39 goals in 114 matches.  Arsenal coach Wenger has also previously tried to sign him.

Could this mean Chelsea are considering offloading Kalou?
