Chelsea to battle West Ham for Celtic striker Moussa Dembele

The Spain international bagged 22 goals to help Chelsea to the Premier League title and FA Cup final last season but is said to have fallen out with Conte.

And according to Sky Sports transfer guru Kaveh Solhekol, Chelsea have now turned their attention to Celtic hitman Dembele.

Premier League rivals West Ham and Ligue 1 giants Marseille are also reportedly looking to sign the France Under-21 international.

Chelsea’s need for a new striker has intensified in recent weeks after they missed out on re-signing Manchester United new boy Romelu Lukaku from Everton.

While West Ham are desperate to add more firepower to their front line this summer, with Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud and Burnley’s Andre Gray said to be on their wishlist.

Dembele joined Celtic last summer after seeing out his contract at Championship outfit Fulham and enjoyed a stunning debut campaign in Scotland.

And Celtic legend Jackie McNamara recently admitted that Dembele could move on this summer.

“You can see it,” he said when asked if Dembele could join an elite club. “When you look at the games, he did well in big competitions.

“His all round game is good and he’s a strong lad for a youngster. He did really well in the Champions League against Manchester City and in the other games.”
