The Celtic striker has 14 goals for the Hoops this season.
Speaking on TalkSport, Mick Quinn has lavished praise on the “red-hot” Celtic hitman Moussa Dembele.
The 20-year-old cannot stop scoring at the moment and he grabbed another two goals for France Under-21s on Monday night, including a stunning free kick.
The Frenchman joined Celtic for £500,000 from Fulham this past summer and he has proved nothing short of a revelation in Glasgow, netting 14 goals for the Hoops already.
Such is his form, Dembele might be attracting the wrong type of interest from a Celtic perspective as The Mail reported on Wednesday that Manchester United were keen to sign him – and could make a move in January if Memphis Depay leaves.
Indeed, the young man cannot put a foot wrong at the minute, and former Liverpool and Newcastle striker Quinn praised him on the radio this morning.
He told talkSPORT: “He’s been a fantastic signing for Celtic. He scored two goals for France the other night as well and he’s red hot – absolutely red hot in form! Young, exciting striker.”
He is a hugely popular figure at Parkhead; not just for the amount of goals, but who he has scored them against.
Dembele already has a hat-trick against Rangers on CV following the 5-1 win over their bitter Old Firm rivals in September – the first meeting between both sides in the Premiership since the Gers returned to the top flight this season – and that feat alone means that the supporters will remember him for a long, long time.
He also netted twice in the 3-3 draw with Manchester City in the Championship; a brace which suggested that he is not only lethal against Scottish teams, but even some of Europe’s finest.
