Moussa Dembele shock transfer destination emerges as Celtic finally set to cash in

Former Celtic star Moussa Dembele is reportedly an £18m target for Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

The Super Lig runners-up are eyeing a transfer splash and new manager Jorge Jesus has identified the Lyon striker as his No.1 target.

Dembele enjoyed a roaring return to form last season at OL as he netted 22 goals in 36 appearances in an otherwise shabby season for the French big boys.

Arsenal have been linked again but it appears the significant interest from Turkey could result in Lyon chief Jean Michel Aulas facing a decision to make.

Despite Dembele's free-scoring heroics, the return of club hero Alexandre Lacazette from Arsenal means it's unlikely Dembele will stick around for the long-term.

Former club Celtic retain a 10 per cent sell-on fee in a player who left Glasgow in 2018 for a return to his homeland with Lyon.

Dembele has been linked with a slew of clubs and even spent six months on loan at Atletico Madrid in the 2020/21 season but he didn't earn a permanent switch to La Liga.

And now Fener are doing everything they can to secure a deal over the coming weeks.
