Transfer listed: 'Destructive' Celtic-linked ace missing on Saturday as Hoops link resurfaces
Celtic transfer target Siriki Dembele was absent from Peterborough United’s squad on the opening weekend of the new Championship season, as per The Daily Record.
The Lowdown: Dembele links
The Hoops have been linked with a move for Karamoko Dembele’s older brother for some time now.
Reports back in November believed that Celtic were pushing hardest out of a number of clubs for the 24-year-old. A move never materialised in January, but links once again resurfaced in March claiming that a summer move was being considered.
Dembele, labelled as ‘destructive’ by his manager Darren Ferguson last year, was involved in 24 League One goals last season.
The Latest: Weekend absence
The Daily Record claimed that both Celtic and Rangers have been touted for a move for Dembele after he was transfer-listed by Peterborough.
Dembele was left out of Peterborough’s squad entirely in their 3-0 defeat to Luton Town on Saturday, which have sparked rumours of a potential move to Scotland once again.
The report claims that Bournemouth, Fulham and Stoke City have also been linked with Dembele.
The Verdict: Time to act?
Dembele, who can play on the wing or through the middle, has less than 12 months remaining on his Peterborough deal, so now could be the perfect time for Celtic to act.
Ange Postecoglou still wants to bring another winger to Celtic Park this summer, and adding the 24-year-old to the club’s attacking ranks would also give him another option when it comes to centre-forwards.
Dembele has just come off the back of an excellent campaign in England and seems to be available for transfer, so perhaps his younger brother Karamoko could help the Hoops to win the race for his sibling’s services.
