And Spanish outlet Don Balon claims Dembele has infuriated his manager by appearing out of shape.

As a result, Valverde may bench him for their La Liga clash with Espanyol on Saturday.

Dembele has been training by himself in order to regain fitness lost during his time in exile at Dortmund, where he refused to train.

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is keen to sign Antoine Griezmann.

The Sun say she is aware she let manager Antonio Conte down during the transfer window.

She supposedly thinks the France international can be signed if they offer £70million and Diego Costa.

Costa came close to returning to Atletico this summer but a January move now looks more feasible.
