Moussa Dembele has been linked with moves away from Celtic in the January transfer window.

Moussa Dembele may not have been in great form so far this season, but that has not stopped the striker from being linked with moves away from Celtic in the January transfer window, with Everton, Stoke City, Crystal Palace and Brighton and Hove Albion all interested in him, according to The Scottish Sun.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers also claimed last week that there was a bid from a club for Dembele, but the Glasgow giants turned it down, as quoted by The Scottish Sun.

The Scottish Sun subsequently reported that it was Brighton who had made the offer for the French striker, and that the bid was for £12 million.

There is still time left in the January transfer window and anything is possible, and former Rangers striker Ally McCoist has suggested that Dembele could leave Celtic.

McCoist said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT last Friday morning (8:41am, January 26, 2018) when told that Dembele will not be sold in the January transfer window: “My own personal opinion is I wouldn’t be so sure on that.”

“I would suggest that if an offer came in that was anything near acceptable, then he would be off because – and it’s only my own assumption – I think they might have fallen out of love with each a little bit,” added McCoist.

Dembele has been on the books of Celtic since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Fulham, with the Glasgow giants having to pay the London club £400,000 as compensation fee, according to The Scottish Sun.
