Celtic and the transfer fee they could net from Moussa Dembele as Premier League club line up move

Celtic are set to receive cash for Moussa Dembele if he moves on from Lyon this summer - albeit perhaps not as much as initially thought.

The striker was a hit for the Hoops following a £500k training development fee transfer from Fulham in 2016. He won multiple trophies over two years in Glasgow's east end while netting 51 goals in 94 outings. Dembele decided to depart in 2018 for Lyon and has went on to score 67 times in 143 games either side of of a loan stint in Spain at Atletico Madrid.

Now in the final year of his contract, The Sun have reported that Southampton want to continue their spending spree by signing the French striker. They have already shelled out for Rangers' Joe Aribo this week and Armel Bella-Kotchap has made the switch from Bochum, alongside Manchester City youngster Romeo Lavia coming in at St Mary's too.

Dembele may be available for a fee of around £10 million as Lyon look to make some return on the striker instead of losing him for free.

In the deal that took him back to France, Celtic inserted an approximate 10%-15% sell-on clause it's claimed, so they would stand to make around £1-£1.5 million from any move he makes around the £10m mark.
