West Ham United, Arsenal and Chelsea are reported to be interested in signing Moussa Dembele from Celtic in the summer transfer window.

According to The London Evening Standard, Celtic striker Moussa Dembele is wanted by Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham United in the summer transfer window.

Dembele was a revelation at Celtic last season, as the striker helped the Glasgow giants win the Scottish Premiership title, the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Cup.

As stated on the Hoops’ official website, the 20-year-old striker scored 32 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions for Brendan Rodgers’s side during the 2016-17 campaign.

The former Fulham youngster is supremely talented, and it is not hard to see why Premier League trio Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham (reportedly) want him.

Celtic fans will certainly not want Dembele to leave this summer, but has Rodgers suggested that the Frenchman, who is hugely popular among the Celtic Park faithful, could depart?

The former Liverpool manager has been quoted as saying by The London Evening Standard that he does not want to sell the striker, but the Celtic boss has suggested that things could change after the Champions League qualifiers.

“Moussa is very content and happy,” Rodgers told The London Evening Standard. “He is not a player we want to sell, but we know how football works and we’ll see what happens.

“But certainly not until after the Champions League qualifiers, there won’t be anything done before then.”
