Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has been linked with a number of clubs.

Former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders has told The Sunday Post that he is not surprised that Celtic striker Moussa Dembele is the subject of interest.

Dembele is one of the best young strikers in Europe and is a key figure in the current Celtic squad.

According to recent report in The Daily Record, as many as 17 Premier League clubs watched the French striker in action for the Hoops against Bayern Munich at Celtic Park in the Champions League.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal all were reported to have watched the 21-year-old striker in action against Bayern.

Former Liverpool and Wales international striker Saunders, who has managed Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chesterfield in the past, has spoken highly of Dembele, and has stated that it does not surprise him that that clubs are interested in the striker.

“He scores all types of goals, from 20-yarders to the most simple of efforts from three yards out,” Saunders told The Sunday Post about Dembele. “He has clever movement and links the play very well.

“He also has the ability to create chances for himself. He will work hard to turn a nothing situation into a goalscoring chance. He’s quick and strong. So, yes, he has lots going for him.

“I’m not surprised that his play has attracted attention. Goalscorers are the highest commodity in football and they move from club to club for premium prices.”

Dembele seems happy at Celtic, and it is hard to see the Glasgow giants sell him in the January transfer window.

However, could things next summer. According to The Sunday Post, the Hoops rate the former Fulham youngster at £25 million, and it will be interesting to see what happens if a club puts the offer on the table.
