The Serie A giants are thought to be keen on a move with Edin Dzeko set to join Chelsea.

Serie A giants AS Roma have become the latest side to be linked with a move for Celtic player Moussa Dembele, according to the Scotsman.

The French under-21 international has been at the centre of transfer rumours for essentially his entire Celtic career, with interest from various clubs only increasing this January.

Dembele has been an unused substitute in Celtic’s last two games, with the club choosing not to play him over fears of a lack of focus.

Brendan Rodgers’ assistant Chris Davies even went so far as to suggest that the youngster may feel the time has come to leave the club, which drew mixed reactions from fans and pundits.

As reported by AS Roma Live, the capital based club are thought to be eyeing the 21-year-old sensation as a replacement for Edin Dzeko, who is expected to complete a move back to the Premier League to Chelsea in the coming days.

Crystal Palace, Everton, Stoke City and Brighton have also all shown interest in the £20million rated striker, who has netted an impressive 40 goals in 70 appearances since his move to Glasgow.

Roma director Monchi has been a long term admirer of Dembele, having tried to sign him from Fulham for Sevilla during his time at the La Liga club.
