# West Ham linked with Celtic striker Moussa Dembele

West Ham are said to be keen on signing Moussa Dembele from Celtic.

According to a report from the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/celtic-boss-brendan-rodgers-warns-11755907), the Hammers want to land the young forward, who is catching the eye of many with some impressive performances of late.

Dembele has led the line well for Celtic since signing for the Scottish champions from Fulham and his displays are not going unnoticed, with a host of clubs keen.

Brighton have been pursuing the Frenchman in recent times and are evidently keen to secure his services for the second half of the campaign, but it seems they will face an uphill battle. Celtic are determined to keep him, and they could face competition from West Ham and Everton.

The report also claims that Dembele is willing to bide his time and remain at Celtic until the end of the season. This is with the view of enabling him to assess his options in the summer in case a ‘bigger’ club comes in.
