Dembele not waiting on coach

08 May 2009 13:55
AZ Alkmaar star Moussa Dembele insists the future of coach Louis van Gaal will have no bearing on his own, amid claims that Chelsea are the latest club to show an interest in him. Arsenal, Juventus, AC Milan, Sevilla and Genoa are all thought to be tracking the highly-rated Belgian international. The 21-year-old, who can play up-front, out wide or in midfield, is being tipped to leave the Dutch champions this summer. But Dembele - who moved to AZ from Willem II in 2006 - has dismissed suggestions that van Gaal's future will affect his own. Van Gaal has been strongly linked with both the Bayern Munich and Sunderland posts this summer. "I want Louis van Gaal to stay at AZ, but at any given moment you might be ready to make the step," he told De Telegraaf. "If he stays with the club that will be positive, but it is not a determining factor. "I do not want to leave if he leaves, but I may not continue if he continues."
