Should Everton make a move for Celtic striker Moussa Dembele in the January transfer window?

Chris Sutton has been quoted as saying by The Daily Mail that Celtic striker Moussa Dembele is worth at least £30 million.

The former Celtic striker has claimed that Dembele would be a good signing for Everton.

Sutton has also suggested in The Daily Record that the Frenchman should not get too big.

“He’s back to fitness now and scoring goals,” The Daily Mail quotes Sutton as saying about Dembele. “Everton need a striker and he would be a good choice.

“It has to be £30m minimum, in this market. Scottish teams, Celtic in particular, have got to stop undervaluing their players, as they did with Virgil van Dijk.”

“Dembele is a big unit and he has obviously been putting in the hours in the gym,” Sutton wrote in The Daily Record. “But he doesn’t want to be too big.

“He’s a strong targetman but his pace is one of his major attributes and if you’re built like the side of the house you can lose a bit of speed.”

Dembele is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership and is one of the best young players in Europe.

As stated on Celtic’s official website, the 21-year-old has scored 36 goals in 61 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops so far in his career.

The France Under-21 international striker can only get better, and he would be a very good signing for Everton in the long run and would also solve the goalscoring problem that the Merseyside outfit have at the moment.

However, it is hard to see Brendan Rodgers’s side entertain any bids for the youngster, even if they are offered big money.
