The phrase Dembele Dollars was part of Parkhead punters' lexicon for many years in expectation of a significant sell–on fee.
But the money for Moussa never arrived and now the former Celtic striker will become a free agent after five years with Lyon. A mixed bag would be unfair, however, there is no doubt his time with Les Gones has had its highs and lows. A trio of seasons netting in excess of 20 for the campaign should be lauded, of course, but his misfiring third season led to a botched loan with Atletico and the current campaign has resulted in a reduced role behind Alexandre Lacazette.
But now Dembele is turning heads as he is being chased by the cream of the continent – Premier League pair Aston Villa and Everton plus Marseille as well as Napoli have been mentioned. But a move to Eintracht Frankfurt appeared a bonafide option – even before the player's representative chimed in. And Mamadi Fofana insists the team who beat Rangers to lift the Europa League are a live option. He said: "Frankfurt are a huge Bundesliga club with a huge fanbase. We are considering and value this option."
