West Ham prepared to break the bank for Celtic hotshot

 

West Ham have added Celtic sensation Moussa Dembele to their list of striking targets, according to Goal.com. 

 

The France international has been in flying form for the Bhoys in the Scottish Premier League this season, netting nine goals in 20 league appearances. 

 

West Ham are desperate to bolster their forward options this month and have been linked with moves for Jermain Defoe and Scott Hogan of Sunderland and Brentford, respectively. 

 

Dembele has also emerged as a possible target and West Ham are thought to have bid £20m for the young striker. 

 

The Hammers are desperate to improve their attacking options with the transfer window currently open having netted just 23 league goals.

A lack of consistent frontman means they languish in 13th in the league, with Andy Carroll currently their top scoring forward with two league goals to his name and manager Slaven Bilic has pleaded with the club’s board to invest in the final third in January. 

 

Chelsea and Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Dembele, 20, but Celtic are expected to reject any advances for the youngster this month.
