West Ham United have been long linked with a keen interest in Celtic striker Moussa Dembele.
West Ham have wasted little time looking to improve their side since appointing Manuel Pellegrini and were interested in Celtic striker Moussa Dembele in the last transfer window according to the likes of The Express.
The pacy French striker has interested West Ham ever since his Fulham days and has 32 goals in 49 games for Celtic.
Every Love Island contestant if they were an England player – World Cup!
According to The Express, Celtic were willing to sell Dembele for around £22 million with the likes of West Ham and Brighton interested in the the 21-year-old back in January.
Losing Dembele would leave Brendan Rodgers with a big hole to fill at Celtic and the world knowing he has that money to spend.
The future of West Ham striker Andy Carroll remains uncertain this summer, with the forward having struggled for injuries throughout his Hammers career.
So if West Ham follow-up their interest in Dembele, Rodgers should use it to his advantage to lure Carroll to Celtic in a bid to add something different to his artillery as he plots progress in the Champions League and another defence of the Scottish Premiership.
Rodgers managed Carroll at Liverpool and although he was the man who sold the big Geordie to West Ham, he would be a real coup for the Hoops.
Carroll would likely be valued at around £15 million as he enters the last year of his six-year contract at West Ham.
So Celtic could get a proven striker and some much-needed cash in a deal that would suit all parties.
Carroll has had his injury problems but when fit is still a menace in the Premier League.
