West Ham Fans Far From Convinced By Links To French Striker

Plenty of West Ham fans have had their say on transfer rumours linking them with a possible move for Lyon striker Moussa Dembele.

Having been tentatively credited with an interest in the 24-year-old Frenchman previously, a report from France Football (November 24th, page 4) this week reignited the rumours.

Prior to this season, Dembele has had a fine goalscoring record wherever he has played, including 17 goals in the Scottish Premiership for Celtic during 2016/17. Indeed, former Scotland manager Alex McLeish has hailed the Frenchman as a “born goalscorer“.

matchday.
