# Everton linked with a move for Celtic striker

Everton are reportedly keeping a close eye on Celtic striker Moussa Dembele.

According to a report from the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/celtic-boss-brendan-rodgers-warns-11755907), the Toffees want to land the young forward, who is catching the eye of many with some impressive performances of late.

Dembele has led the line well for [Celtic](https://readceltic.com/) since signing for the Scottish champions from Fulham and his displays are not going unnoticed, with a host of clubs keen.

Brighton have been pursuing the Frenchman in recent times and are evidently keen to secure his services for the second half of the campaign, but it seems they will face an uphill battle. [Celtic](https://readceltic.com/) are determined to keep him, and they could face competition from West Ham and [Everton](https://readeverton.com/).

The report also claims that Dembele is willing to bide his time and remain at [Celtic](https://readceltic.com/)until the end of the season. This is with the view of enabling him to assess his options in the summer in case a ‘bigger’ club comes in.

Everton are in need of added inspiration up front and Dembele could be the man to provide them with that.
