Rennes stud Dembele sparks Dortmund transfer talk via Twitter

Rennes' star teenage striker Ousmane Dembele could be poised for a high-profile move to Borussia Dortmund in the summer - at least, if reading a great deal into his online activities is any indication.

The 18-year-old's been the topic of plenty of transfer talk since a dazzling second half with the Bretons, notching 12 goals and five assists in 24 Ligue 1 matches.

That meteoric rise has placed him among Europe's most coveted teenagers, and now, the Haute-Normandie-born goal machine appears to have his eyes set on Dortmund.

With a little less than two months until the summer transfer window officially opens, these likely aren't the last rumbles about Dembele's possible move to the German top flight.
