Celtic striker Moussa Dembele is reportedly on the radar of Arsenal.

Moussa Dembele is one of the best young strikers in Europe, and Arsenal have long been linked with the Celtic star.

Back in the summer of 2017, The Daily Star claimed of Arsenal’s interest in the former Fulham striker.

Arsene Wenger was in charge of the Gunners, and although the Frenchman has left the North London outfit and has been succeeded by Unai Emery, it seems that the Premier League club’s interest in the 22-year-old has not waned.

According to La Provence, Dembele is still on the list of Arsenal’s scouting team, with French club Marseille also claimed to be interested in the youngster.

While Ligue 1 side Marseille can make a move for the 22-year-old this summer as the window in France is still open, Arsenal cannot as Premier League clubs are unable to bring in any more players this month.

However, it is hard to see Celtic sell arguably their best striker this month, and one suspects that Arsenal will get their chance maybe in January or next summer.

Dembele is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership, and the French youngster – who earns £25,000 per week as salary at Celtic, according to The Daily Star – would be a good long-term signing for Arsenal.
