Should Celtic make a move for Motherwell’s Louis Moult in the summer transfer window?

Chris Sutton has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Motherwell striker Louis Moult would not be a good signing for Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Celtic are having issues with their attacking department at the moment, and there seems to be a need for a new striker.

Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths are the two main strikers in Brendan Rodgers’s side, and both are very good.

However, French striker Dembele could be out until early September, as Celtic boss Rodgers has told BBC Sport, while Griffiths was suspended for the Hoops’ Champions League third qualifying round first-leg tie against Rosenborg on Wednesday evening.

Former Celtic striker Sutton, though, does not think that Moult would be able to solve the Glasgow giants’ problem in the attacking department.

The 25-year-old has been on the books of Motherwell since 2015 and is one of the better strikers in the Scottish Premiership.

Interestingly, the former Stoke City man had been linked with a move to Celtic’s Old Firm rivals Rangers earlier in the summer transfer window, with The Scottish Sun crediting the Gers with interest in the striker back in May.
