CELTIC striker Moussa Dembele is a target for big-spending Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig, according to reports.

The 20-year-old Frenchman has already been the subject of £20million interest from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Arsenal and Leipzig's nearest challengers at the top of the German table Bayern Munich are also interested in the man with 17 goals so far this season.

However, the report Leipzig hope to tap in to the same mentality that saw Dembele plump for Celtic over the Premier League last summer.

Timo Werner, the shock German leader's top scorer, is expected to leave for Bayern.

And it is thought Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick has identified Dembele as a likely replacement.

The club have shown a willingness to gamble on youth.

Oliver Burke made a £15m move from Nottingham Forest in the summer.

Dembele, who has caught fire since his £500,000 transfer from Fulham, could now do likewise.

The Mail add that should he go next month or next summer, Celtic are poised to break all records for a transfer fee received by a Scottish club.

Dembele's potential move will dwarf £12.5 million they pocketed by selling Victor Wanyama to Southampton in the summer of 2013.

That is because there is nothing stopping the Scottish champions from receiving full market value.

Bhoys chief executive Peter Lawwell said: "If we get £100 million for him, we get £100 million.

"If anyone offers money for Dembele, subject to the employment contract, there will be no cap."
