Tam McManus would sell Celtic’s Moussa Dembele if a good offer came in.

Tam McManus has claimed on Twitter that Celtic should sell Moussa Dembele.

Speculation has mounted that the 21-year-old striker might not be at Celtic next season.

According to The Scottish Sun, Marseille are interested and Dembele is open to joining the Ligue 1 outfit.

The former Fulham man netted 30 times in a brilliant debut season at Parkhead, following his £500,000 switch from the Cottagers.

The Frenchman is available for £20 million and former Hibernian man McManus believes that Brendan Rodgers should certainly take the money and run.

Losing Dembele would not be hugely detrimental for Celtic, given Leigh Griffiths’ presence at the club.

The Scotland international netted 40 goals during the 2015-16 campaign and that sort of goalscorer would simply step into Dembele’s boots.

In fact, Griffiths might be a better option than his French counterpart at the moment, though Dembele, at 21, will surely develop into a much better player.
