The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for Lyon during the 2019/20 campaign, finding the back of the net on 14 occasions in 28 appearances in all competitions.

According to Nixon, Bruce is keen to spend big on a new striker before the January transfer window closes for business, but the Premier League club will not be able to secure a deal for Dembele as he is out of their price range.
