Any hun who thinks we will get less than 20m for Dembele is kidding themselves on, no **** is claiming he is worth it, but this is the farcical market that england has created.

Hes a high profile young talent in France being talked about by Henry, Zidane and Deschamps, I know french guys who watch some Scottish football just to see him.

Im hardly his biggest fan as I dont have him in the same class as Kasper Dolberg who is the same age but there is no denying he is one of the best striker prospects in Europe for his age.

He will absolutely smash the scottish transfer record when he goes.

Deschamps said: “There are many young players that I consider that there is great potential for bringing to the international stage. Football in France is very rich particularly with young players coming through. We have quality youngsters who have yet to be selected…but they will be. For instance we have Moussa Dembele at Celtic, who can provide an option in attack. He is a big talent. Sometimes you can promote the kids too soon, but some just have that ability that would make them hard to ignore. I will be spoiled for choice in 2017.”

"It’s a massive mistake from the teams in the Premier League," Henry told Sky Sports. "He was playing for Fulham. That’s bad from whoever’s going to get him because he was there, and by the way just down the road from Chelsea. That’s the price [£40m] you’re going to have to pay now and you know, we can all talk about is he worth it or not, you have to pay. We knew what he could do already at Fulham. I was very shocked that no one came and got him in the Premier League. He’s a great guy, he can score goals, he’s doing well also for the Under-21s in France – there’s talk of him maybe going into the national team so you know what you’re going to get."

Zidane said: “Dembele is one of the most talked about young strikers in Europe at the moment but it has not surprised me at all – I always saw that. He isn’t just scoring goals, he is scoring big goals, important goals like the one against Rangers. That to me is always the sign of a great player. I have played with the greatest strikers, Ronaldo, Henry, Raul, and you knew on the biggest occasions they would win you games – and Dembele is already showing that. I do understand now that the biggest clubs in Europe are being linked with him and that will be his destination eventually – but my advice now is ignore it all. He can progress well at Celtic, at a great club who are in Europe, and under a very good coach. I know his time will come but he needs to make good decisions – and his next at least one or two seasons should be with Celtic.”

we aint talking about some mugs here, physically he is an excellent prospect, he has shown he is capable of excellent finishing and intelligent passing, of course he doesnt have the consistency yet not many young players do, Tierney is a rare exception, I look at Brandt in Germany over the last few years and hes had spells of being brilliant and spells of being not so good, whoever buys Dembele will be be paying for the potential and it is elite potential, at 25 26 27 he could be a legit top class striker
I got as far as, "I know some French guys who watch some Scottish football just to see him play"! <laugh> ffs that is the best ever, you have my vote for POTY 2017<ok>
