£83m-rated Moussa Dembele 'wants EPL return' with Man Utd leading the race

Moussa Dembele is desperate to make his return to the Premier League this summer but any potential suitors will have to stump up £83million to sign him, according to reports.

Manchester United appears to be the Frenchman's dream destination and a move will be on the cards if the Red Devils believe the Lyon man is worth it.

According to Sky Sports, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas will let Dembele leave in the summer but will want big money for the former Celtic and Fulham striker.

Aulas said last week: 'We already have a certain number of offers for our players for summer. We sell the players who want to leave to where they want to go.'

Chelsea tried signing the 23-year-old in the January transfer window but were blocked from completing a move due to Lyon's on-going injury crisis.

Tottenham, Newcastle, Man City and West Ham have all shown interest in Dembele previously.

Dembele has 19 goals in 37 appearances for the French side this season.
