Moussa Dembele is keen on a move away from Celtic, according to assistant manager, Chris Davies.

The striker has been linked with Brighton and Hove Albion, Everton and Crystal Palace this January.

Dembele who joined the Scottish side from Fulham in the summer of 2016 has scored eight goals in 21 appearances in all nuova Maglia Milan competitions this term.

“I think time has gone on, and obviously there has been interest in him,” Davies told The Scottish Sun.

“But there is also an acceptance that maybe Moussa feels it is the right time for him to move on.

“And when a player feels that way, then, there is not an awful lot of point in stopping them – unless you really have to. So that’s kind of how it’s evolved.

“But nothing has actually happened yet, it’s been speculation.

“Here we are with nine or ten days to go and there’s been no formal bid. So we can only take it like that Magliette Real Madrid – and possibly stop focusing on that situation so much.

“There is no problem. Moussa’s happy, he’s a very important player to us.

“He was before we came and he’s extremely important to us since we’ve been here. We’re very aware of his quality – and there has been no bid that I’m aware of.”
