Brighton and Hove Albion have been linked with Celtic striker Moussa Dembele in the January transfer window.

According to The Scottish Sun, Brighton and Hove Albion’s bid for Celtic striker Moussa Dembele was £12 million.

It has been reported that the Glasgow giants the French striker at £20m, and that the Hoops turned down the £12m offer from Premier League club Brighton in the January transfer window.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers recently told BBC Sport that the club have turned down one official bid for the 21-year-old striker.

Dembele is one of the best young strikers in Europe, and although his performances for Celtic so far this season have not been great, there is no doubt that he is a quality footballer.

The former Fulham youngster is certainly worth more than £12m, and Celtic were right to turn down Brighton’s offer, which was laughable.

If Dembele remains at Celtic Park and the Frenchman regains his form, and his value will increase, and Celtic could then sell him for a handsome transfer fee and sign a good replacement.

If Brighton are serious about Dembele, then they should return with a better and bigger offer.
