Aston Villa are reportedly considering a move for Lyon star Moussa Dembele - which could see Celtic land a bumper January windfall.
The former Parkhead frontman was touted as a target for several English Premier League sides in the summer with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Southampton, Fulham and Everton have all credited with an interest before the window slammed shut. Reports in France had suggested Dembele was determined to remain with Lyon and fight for his spot in the starting line-up with Alexandre Lacazette, despite entering the final year of his deal.
That put Celtic 's hopes of landing a bumper payday in serious jeopardy with the Scottish champions holding a 15 per cent sell-on clause in the player's contract following his £20million departure for Lyon back in 2018. However, the 26-year-old may be forced to reevaluate his options having been used sparingly by boss Peter Bosz so far this season with former Arsenal man Lacazette the first choice frontman so far this term.
