West Ham bid £20m for Celtic star Dembele

The Hammers have reportedly bid £20m for the 20-year-old, but Celtic value Dembele much higher than West Ham's valuation.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers also said that Dembele will also stay in January, and will benefit from staying at Celtic for a couple of years.

"It won't be January for Moussa. You know at Celtic that if you get a really talented player, then the cycle at best is a couple of years, like Victor Wanyama, Virgil van Dijk and Ki Sung-yueng," the former Liverpool manager said recently.

"If they have that quality, then it's a great platform for them to demonstrate that and then they know there's a better financial situation down south.

"With Moussa, it was always going to be the case, but the difference now with Celtic is that if he does leave here, he won't be going to a bottom-end Premier League team".
