Celtic forward Moussa Dembele is scoring goals for fun.
Celtic winger Scott Sinclair has told The Glasgow Evening Times that Moussa Dembele will score more than 40 goals in all competitions this season.
According to Celtic’s official website, Dembele has scored 31 goals in 43 matches in all competitions for far this season.
During the 2015-16 campaign, Leigh Griffiths found the net 40 times in all competitions for the Hoops.
Griffiths is a very good striker, but the combination of injury and the stunning form of Dembele has restricted his playing time under manager Brendan Rodgers so far this season.
With 11 Scottish Premiership matches left in the season, there is a very good chance that 20-year-old Celtic forward Dembele could hit the 40-goal mark.
Winger Sinclair, who joined the Glasgow giants from Aston Villa in the summer of 2016, has backed Dembele to surpass Griffiths’s tally of last season.
“I think the way he is going it seems like he’s scoring every week, so I hope so,” Sinclair told The Glasgow Evening Times about Dembele smashing Griffiths’s 40-goal tally of last season.
“I’m sure he’ll be looking to break that target as well. At the moment he is doing unbelievably.
“As a striker, and the confidence he’s got, he’s scoring every week. He got back to back hat-tricks and for him his development is unbelievably. He’s a massive player.”
Celtic are going strong in the Scottish Premiership at the moment and are running away with the league title.
The Bhoys are currently at the top of the league table with 79 points from 27 matches, 27 points clear of second-placed Aberdeen.
