32-goal striker eager to join Chelsea this summer, Blues looking to complete transfer for him

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte still wants to sign another forward to his team with Diego Costa set to depart and Michy Batshuayi yet to convince the former Italy National men football team coach he’s worthy of a first-team role at Stamford Bridge.

A striker Chelsea have been eying is Celtic forward Moussa Dembele. The France U21 international forward signed for the Scottish club last summer on a free transfer from English club Fulham and hit the ground running, netting 32 goals in 49 matches in his first season at the club.

With a brilliant return like that, clubs will be eyeing Dembele, and London club Chelsea are amongst top European clubs like Borussia Dortmund and West Ham chasing the young striker.

According to French source RMC, the 21-year-old is forcing a move away from Celtic this summer transfer window, considering the considerable interest in him. The Scottish club are willing to sell the wonderkid if their asking price is met in full.

The young striker is currently sidelined for the next 4 to 6 weeks with a hamstring injury, Frenchman Dembele may be forced to wait on his big transfer away from the Scottish club if clubs are worried about the level of his fitness.
