RAC1 (h/t Mirror) claim Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele has been told to find a new club in January. The report adds that the player was left on the bench in their win over Inter Milan, and was dumped because he was 25 minutes late to a team meeting.

The Frenchman joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund for a huge fee but this latest development has put Liverpool on alert, as per the report.

A couple of other Premier League clubs are also alerted by this issue with Arsenal and Chelsea keeping an eye on the 21-year-old.

The Frenchman has three La Liga goals and an assist from 10 league games as Barcelona top the table.
