The Celtic forward has a host of teams chasing him following his brilliant start to life at Parkhead.
A report in the Daily Mail has suggested that RB Leipzig are the latest club to register an interest in Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, and that the Bundesliga side have a plan in place as they try to win the race for his signature.
The 20-year-old has been sensational since arriving at Parkhead in the summer, scoring 17 times in just 28 games in all competitions, including three in the group-stages of the Champions League.

That form has, unsurprisingly, attracted plenty of attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham, according to the Mail. But it seems that they may now have to see off competition from one of the Europe’s fastest growing outfits.
That is because the Mail is also reporting that RB Leipzig have entered the running as they brace themselves for the potential loss of current star striker Timo Werner to Bayern.

And Leipzig are optimistic about their chances of winning the chase for the Celtic ace. The Mail reports that the German side will offer the former Fulham starlet the promise of first-team football in the hope that it tempts him to ignore the continent’s financial heavyweights, just as he did when he decided to move to the Scottish Premiership.
Something that will surely appeal to Dembele is how well RB Leipzig have been doing this season. They sit at the top of the Bundesliga and are three points clear of Bayern after 13 games of their first season in the top flight, so it would hardy be a surprise if their rapid progress forced the Hoops star to consider their interest very seriously should an offer come in.
