Surely we can pip the weed to this one .... [Link] I’ll try this . one source close to the talks has told Sky Sports News that an £18m fee has been agreed between the clubs, but Celtic and Brighton deny this.
Ahead of Brighton's visit to Chelsea on Boxing Day, Seagulls boss Chris Hughton admitted Dembele fits the profile of the type of player Brighton would be interested in.
Asked by Sky Sports News reporter Jeremy Langdon if he was interested in Dembele, Hughton said: "He's a very good player who has had a very good season. He is not our player he just happens to be one of probably 100 names you could mention that I probably would [want]. "But he's not our player and neither is anybody else that might be thrown into the mix."

Dembele has been a revelation since joining Celtic following the expiry of his contract with Fulham 18 months ago.

The striker made 49 appearances in all competitions during his first season with the Hoops and scored 32 goals before his campaign was curtailed by a thigh injury.

Dembele missed the start of this season due to a hamstring injury and has scored eight goals in 19 appearances.

The 21-year-old came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain and joined Fulham in 2012. He made his first-team debut a year later, coming on as a substitute in a 3-0 Premier League defeat at West Ham.

Dembele scored 19 goals in 64 appearances for Fulham before joining Celtic on a four-year contract in June

No way is or Brighton could get him.

Apparently, Celtic have accepted the weeds £18m bid!!

Was thinking of suggesting this guy a few weeks back but just assumed bigger clubs would be after him and we'd have no chance.

If (and it's a big if of course), the Weed really are in with a shout, we cannot allow them to grab him over us.

An absolute quality player. Really does tick every box - especially in the high intensity game Roy plays.

We're the Arthur over ere!

Sign him up!!! Would be perfect up top with Benteke. Surprised he'd come to us or the weed but let's outbid them. Would likely leave in a few years but we'd make a tidy profit and he would be one of the last pieces of the puzzle

Correct, that is why this is all spin.
