Former Celtic striker, Moussa Dembele appears to be mulling over an offer from English Premier League side Southampton. There have been noises for long enough now about Moussa leaving Lyon, but sadly for the Hoops heirarchy and supporters none of the big money moves materialised.
His most auspicious move which everyone thought would garner the club a healthy profit didn’t live up to expectations; with Atletico Mardrid boss Diego Simeone opting against signing the big Frenchman during a very underwhelming spell in La Liga a fee years back.
Aston Villa boss, Unai Emery was supposed to be keen on the idea of bringing the former Bhoys hero to Villa Park this January or in the summer transfer window on a free. However, it is his counterpart in the Premier League at St Mary’s, Nathan Jones, who has moved ahead of the queue in the race for Moussa’s signature.
TheRangers destroyer now has a decision to make and it’s believed that he is mulling over his options this month and for potential moves in the summer time. Obviously Celtic supporters will be hoping the forward moves now and the club can get a slice of the £3 million that Lyon will rake in from any prospective sale at this moment in time, as per the reports in the Scottish Sun and Foot Mercato.
The waiting game goes on…
