Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele reportedly angers club officials by turning up late for training amid speculation over his future at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele reportedly turned up late to training again amid speculation over his future at the club.

The France international has been linked with a move away from the Camp Nou in January, having struggled to hold down a regular starting role since his arrival in the summer of 2017.

Dembele missed a large chunk of his debut season due to injury and has been in and out of Ernesto Valverde's team so far this term, leading to reports that he could leave the club.

The Barcelona hierarchy are understood to be unhappy with Dembele's discipline levels, and The Mirror claims that he has now risked the club's wrath again by turning up two hours late for training following Saturday's 4-0 win over Espanyol.

The 21-year-old missed training completely a month ago and claimed to have stomach problems when questioned over his absence, leading to him being dropped from the squad for the next match.

Dembele, who was on the scoresheet during Saturday's derby, has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Arsenal should Barca lose patience with the youngster.
