Crystal Palace reportedly join the race for Celtic star

Celtic vs Hearts

The Daily Mail have reported that Premier League’ side Crystal Palace have approached Celtic to ask about Moussa Dembele’ availability.

Brighton & Hove Albion have been chasing the player for over a month, but he seems skeptical about a potential transfer to Falmer Stadium.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is searching for a top-class striker following disappointing performances by Christian Benteke, as he seems determined to save Palace from relegation this season.

On the other hand, Brighton’ chief of staff Chris Hughton is a big fan of Dembele and considers him as a perfect solution to his attacking problems. However, the 21-year-old striker has yet to give his approval to the eventual move to Seagulls.

Celtic are already on the market seeking a potential replacement for Dembele, as Brendan Rodgers looks resigned to his departure. The Hoops are reportedly going to demand £25 million to let their star move away from Celtic Park in January.
