Scottish Premiership star Moussa Dembele has been linked with a move away from Celtic and towards Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund need a striker this summer.
Since January, they have bid farewell to their prolific talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Arsenal for £60 million, while Michy Batshuayi has also departed the Signal Iduna Park following a goal-laden loan spell from Chelsea.
The Standard report that Chelsea will demand at least £50 million for Batshuayi. So the likeable Belgian, who scored seven goals in just nine Bundesliga starts, is probably unlikely to return on a permanent basis.
But it seems that Dortmund fans would be very happy to see Moussa Dembele arrive in his place.
Foot Mercato have claimed that the German giants have enquired about the 21-year-old Celtic striker and are now prepared to go all-out to sign him this summer. Dembele has emerged as one of the sharpest young forwards in Europe since he joined Celtic from Fulham in 2016, scoring 48 goals in two seasons as The Hoops lifted the domestic treble twice in succession.
And Dembele is exactly the kind of young, promising talent that Dortmund tend to turn into a global superstar, think Aubameyang, Robert Lewandowski and Moussa’s namesake Ousmane, now of Barcelona fame.
And should Dembele leave Celtic this summer, he’d be welcomed by the yellow wall.
