Ross McCormack: 'Moussa Dembele would be a coup for Celtic'

Fulham striker Ross McCormack has claimed the signing that teammate Moussa Dembele would be a "real coup" for Celtic.

The 19-year-old Frenchman, who enjoyed a 40-goal partnership with McCormack last season, has recently been linked with a move to the Scottish champions.

"If Celtic manage to sign Moussa, that will be a real coup for them," McCormack told the Daily Mail. "Wherever he ends up this summer, it will be at a good club.

"I would think Celtic will be doing well to get him. He is 19 years old and, halfway through his first full season playing in our team, he nearly went to Spurs."

Dembele has been previously linked with a host of clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasaray.
