Celtic have denied that they have accepted an £18 million bid from Brighton and Hove Albion for striker Moussa Dembele, dismissing the reports as nonsense.
Dembele bagged 32 goals for the Hoops last season to help the club win the domestic treble unbeaten and he has since been linked with a variety of club across the elite Leagues of World football.
There were various sources who reported on Christmas day that the Hoops had accepted a bid from Brighton for the young striker.
However it now appears that that is not the case and that in fact, no bid was submitted in the first place.
Seagulls manager Chris Hughton did however openly reveal his admiration towards Dembele recently when he said, “He’s a very good player and has had a very good season. He’s just one of about a hundred names you could mention, but he’s not our player.”
