Barcelona star sends urgent message to Arsenal and Liverpool on the future of Dembele

- Frenchman Ousmane Dembele will not be leaving Barcelona when the transfer window opens

- This is according to his teammate Nelson Semedo who says Dembele is committed to Barcelona

- Arsenal and Liverpool are the two teams who are ready to lure him to the Premier League

Barcelona defender Nelson Semedo has revealed that Frenchman Ousmane Dembele will not be leaving the Spanish champions when the January 2019 transfer window opens.

This latest news will now be a big blow to Arsenal and Liverpool who have been in race for Dembele's signature to bring him to the Premier League next year.

But despite being out of favor at Barcelona this season, Nelson Semedo made it clear that Ousmane Demebele is not interested in leaving the Catalan giants.

"He is an excellent player, with a lot of potential and will help us a lot.

"He is totally committed to the team. Now he is more responsible and is showing it in the field.

"It must continue like this, and I am convinced that it will,'' Semedo told ESPN.

Dembele joined Barcelona in 2017 for £138 million as a replacement for Brazilian star Neymar who joined French club Paris Saint-Germain for a world-record £198m.

Last season, the World Cup winner was unable to replicate his Budesliga form at Barcelona as he scored only four goals for the Nou Camp club.
