Thierry Henry has suggested that Celtic striker Moussa Dembele is good enough to play in the Premier League, as quoted by The Scottish Sun.

According to The Scottish Sun, Brighton and Hove Albion will make a £20 million offer for the Celtic striker this week.

The report has also credited Stoke City, West Ham United and Everton with interest in the France Under-21 international striker.

Moussa Dembele of Celtic arrives prior to the UEFA Champions League group B match between Celtic FC and RSC Anderlecht at Celtic Park on December 5, 2017 in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

The Scottish Sun has reported that Celtic want as much as £25m as transfer fee in order to part company with the youngster.

Dembele has been on the books of the Hoops since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Fulham, with the Glasgow giants having to pay £400,000 as compensation fee, according to The Scottish Sun.

Arsenal legend Henry, who won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2008-09, has praised Dembele, and has suggested that the former Fulham youngster is good enough to play in the Premier League.

James Tavernier of Rangers vies with Moussa Dembele of Celtic during the Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Ranger at Celtic Park on December 30, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

“He can play, he can score, it might be time for him to play in a big league,” The Scottish Sun quotes Henry as saying about Dembele. “He has all the attributes. I’m just really surprised it’s only Brighton showing interest.”

Dembele is one of the best young strikers in Europe, and his performances for Celtic since his arrival at Celtic Park have been superb.
