Celtic’s Moussa Dembele coveted by Premier League quartet

Youngster is back in the spotlight

Celtic forward Moussa Dembele is once again attracting the interest of the Premier League’s top clubs.

The 21-year-old Frenchman bagged 32 goals in 48 appearances last season, causing the Hoops to slap a £40m price-tag on their prized asset.

So far this season the ex-Fulham man has scored seven goals in 14 games. But after last night’s first-minute strike against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, interest has reignited once more south of the border.

Here, the Coral News Team look at Dembele’s four most likely Premier League destinations.

Manchester United

It emerged this week that United reportedly held talks with Dembele over a possible move to Old Trafford last summer. However, the move didn’t happen and the youngster opted to remain at Celtic Park.

Now though, Jose Mourinho could be tempted to make a second move for the Celtic ace. He has more experience on the European stage and continues to score at club level.

At just 21-years-old, he also represents a good long-term bit of business. The Red Devils certainly have the cash to prize Dembele away from the Hoops. But would the striker move to a club where he’s likely to be down the pecking order in terms of starting chances.

Chelsea

As the Coral News Team revealed yesterday, Chelsea remain in the market for another striker. Alvaro Morata’s future is uncertain and Michy Batshuayi is considered as unreliable by Antonio Conte.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich is not afraid of taking a punt on a young talent. He showed that last January when they made an approach to Celtic for the player. On that occasion, they were rebuffed due to the transfer fee.
