Is Celtic forward Moussa Dembele as good as Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero or Chelsea legend Didier Drogba?

Celtic forward Moussa Dembele is one of the best young forwards in Europe and has been in brilliant form so far this season.

Dembele has scored 31 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions for the Bhoys so far this campaign, according to the club’s official website.

The 20-year-old forward joined the Hoops in the summer of 2016 after leaving English club Fulham at the end of the 2015-16 season.

Scott Sinclair also moved to Celtic in the summer of 2016. The 27-year-old winger joined the Glasgow giants from Aston Villa.

Sinclair has played for two of the biggest clubs in the world, Chelsea and Manchester City, and he believes that Dembele is as good as some of the great players he has played with, such as Chelsea legend Didier Drogba and City striker Aguero.

“Maybe Aguero or Tevez,” Sinclair told The Daily Star when asked about his best teammates. “One of those two. I can throw in Drogba too.

“I’ve played with some good strikers but Moussa’s got that attribute where he’s scoring goals and that mentality to want to do better and better. I’d say Moussa’s similar to them.”

Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 79 points from 27 matches.

Brendan Rodgers’s side will return to action on Sunday afternoon when they take on St Mirren at Celtic Park in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.
