Celtic value Dembele in excess of £40m

Scottish champions Celtic have placed a £40m price tag on Moussa Dembele following his impressive start to the campaign.

The 20-year-old joined the Hoops on a free transfer from Fulham over the summer, and has since racked 15 goals in all competitions.

Dembele has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona this month, and this has urged Celtic to stamp a hefty valuation on his head, The Express claims.

Brendan Rodgers' side are reluctant to sell their asset for anything less than £40m, and this is likely to put an end to speculation over the player's future.

The French footballer had his standout moment for Celtic last month when he bagged a brace in a 3-3 Champions League draw against Premier League giants Manchester City.
