Celtic could need a new forward in the summer, with Moussa Dembele reportedly set to depart.

Jack Marriott of Peterborough United tangles with Adrien Silva of Leicester City during the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Roundat ABAX Stadium on January 27, 2018 in Peterborough, England.

Celtic should consider Peterborough United forward Jack Marriott, if they sell Moussa Dembele this summer.

Marriott looks set to leave Posh, as Steve Evans’ side have failed in their quest to earn promotion to the Championship.

Posh are expected to demand big money for Marriott, but Celtic could raise big funds from the sale Dembele, and they should invest part of it in Marriott.

The Peterborough striker has hit 32 goals this term, which makes him the top scorer in England’s Football League.

And he could be the perfect fit for Celtic, who are always keen to develop players at Parkhead.

Dembele, himself, was only a prospect when he arrived at Celtic from Fulham – but he has thrived after being exposed to Champions League football.

Moussa Dembele of Celtic celebrates his goal, Celtic's third, during the Betfred Cup Semi-Final at Hampden Park on October 21, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Marriott has the goalscoring instincts to be just as impactful for the Bhoys, with his tireless running and clinical finishing a dangerous skillset.

And if Celtic do part ways with Dembele in the summer, then they should look no further than Marriott, in their search for a replacement.
