Chelsea and Tottenham favourites to sign £40million-rated star

Sky Bet have placed Tottenham as being second favorites to sign Celtic’s Moussa Dembele behind Chelsea. Dembele has been in phenomenal form for the Bhoys this season, netting 17 goals in the League as well as three in the Champions League.

Spurs had been linked with a move to North London last summer though contract talks broke down and he ended up signing for Celtic when his contract expired in what was arguably one of the best bargains during recent times.

Chelsea have been linked with a £40 million move for Dembele and they have been marked as favorites to complete his signing.

It is unlikely that Spurs will be willing to bid anything higher unless the asking price is reduced. Liverpool and Arsenal are also reported to be interested in the forward.

However at this stage, it seems most likely that he will be a Chelsea player next season. The 20-year-old has certainly shown signs of becoming a world class striker in future years to come.
