Celtic’s Moussa Dembele
A report in the Evening Times has suggested that Celtic striker Moussa Dembele is set to be handed a call-up to the full France national side following his brilliant run for the Hoops.
Since arriving from Fulham in the summer, Dembele has been sensational for the Bhoys, scoring 26 times in 40 games in all competitions.
Despite only making his debut for France’s under-21 side in October last year, the Evening Times suggests that Dembele has now moved onto national team coach Didier Deschamps’ radar, and he has been watched by scouts several times over the past few months.
They have clearly been impressed by what they have seen as the Evening Times reports that he is now set to be included in the squad for the World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg and the friendly against Spain just a few days later next month.
It is hardly a surprise that Dembele’s form is now set to see him earn full international recognition given what he has done in Celtic’s previous two games.
He has scored hat-tricks in both of their last two fixtures, leaving many to back the 20-year-old to perhaps reach 40 goals for the campaign.
And with a spot in the national side to potentially protect, it appears that he will have no problem finding the motivation to take his tally to such a high number.
