Dembele has been on fire for the Scottish champions since his summer move.
Moussa Dembele has exploded onto the scene at Celtic with several high-profile goals, and it appears as though even France boss Didier Deschamps has been impressed with what he has seen from the youngster, according to the Scottish Sun.
Dembele joined the Bhoys this summer from Fulham, and the 20-year-old who had already shone at Championship level has proved to be a revelation in Scottish football and in Europe.
The forward has scored 12 goals in his first 16 appearances in all competitions for Brendan Rodgers’ side, including a hat-trick against Old Firm rivals Rangers and a Champions League brace against Manchester City this week.
He has been hailed by many as a future star of European football, and word of his exploits has not eluded Deschamps, who has suggested that he could be in line for a senior call-up in the not-too-distant future.
The Scottish Sun quotes the France boss as saying: “I saw him score his goals in the Champions League. At the moment, he is in the generation below us and has just been called up for the Under-21s — but you never know.
“He’s had a somewhat unusual career path — but he has very many qualities. Some young players have got lost at their clubs, but Dembele is impressing now in the Champions League. He’s a good player.”
Dembele hit 15 goals in 43 Championship appearances for Fulham last season in his first full season as a regular at senior level, and he is already within touching distance of that total in all competitions this term.
Rodgers has unsurprisingly been waxing lyrical about his new star, and suggested this week that Celtic are lucky to have such a player.
