Chris Sutton has praised Celtic striker Moussa Dembele for his attitude in The Daily Record despite speculation over his future.

Dembele has been linked with moves away from Celtic and to clubs in the Premier League in England in the January transfer window.

According to The Scottish Sun, Everton, Crystal Palace and Brighton and Hove Albion all are interested in the 21-year-old striker.

The former Fulham star is one of the best young strikers in Europe, and one can understand why the likes of Everton, Palace and Brighton are (reportedly) interested in him.

Former Celtic striker Sutton has praised Dembele for showing professionalism and for his attitude amid speculation linking him with moves away from the Hoops.

Moussa Dembele of Celtic scores his 3rd goal during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park on September 10, 2016 in Glasgow.

Sutton wrote in The Daily Record: “Moussa Dembele will get most of the attention but I’m impressed with his behaviour and have to say some of the stuff I’ve read and heard about this kid is shameful.

“Not once has he said he wants to leave Celtic. Dembele hasn’t been at his best this term, no question. But that’s been down to injury and lack of rhythm and not a lack of interest.”

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is seen during a training session at Lennoxtown on December 29, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Meanwhile, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that there have been enquiries about Dembele.

Rodgers told The Scottish Sun: “There have been a couple of enquiries for him and I think it is clear he has not been quite the same as he’s been for over a year or so.”

Dembele is a very good striker, and it would make sense for him to remain at Celtic for the rest of the season and then make a decision on his future.
