Villarreal will pursue a deal for Moussa Dembele this summer, according to the Express.

The Yellow Submarines have cash to spend after selling their star forward Cedric Bakambu to China in January. Beijing Guoan spent £35m to recruit the 27 year old, but the Spanish side didn’t sign a replacement.

Our no.10 is said to be top of their list of replacements following an impressive couple of seasons at Celtic Park.

After struggling with injuries earlier in the campaign, the Frenchman has upped his game when it has mattered most in the second half of the season.

The forward has scored seven goals and contributed five assists in his last 12 appearances since the end of January, and was again in the headlines for his chipped penalty in the derby on Sunday.

The La Liga club will have to pay a sizeable sum if they want to land the 21 year old, and we will have to wait and see if their interest is genuine or not.
