Everton have recently deployed scouts at Celtic Park to keep tabs on Moussa Dembele.

Celtic's Moussa Dembele

According to a report in the Daily Star, Everton have been watching Celtic striker Moussa Dembele in recent weeks, with Ronald Koeman’s side keen to make a summer move.

Dembele has impressed hugely at Celtic this season, after signing from Fulham last summer.

The French youth international is widely regarded as the most talented player in Scottish football, and Everton have been tracking his progress recently.

Everton are said to have had scouts posted at Celtic matches, prior to Dembele’s injury against Rangers last month.

The 20-year-old forward could now miss the rest of the campaign, but Everton have had tabs on him for months, so should have seen enough to decide whether he would be a good addition at Goodison Park.

Everton are believed to be keen to enhance their attacking options heading into the new campaign.

Celtic’s Dembele is already valued at around £30 million (Daily Mail), meaning Everton would have to part with a sizeable fee if they were to sign the powerful striker.
