Bayern Munich lining up £30million bid for Celtic striker and Chelsea target Moussa Dembele

BAYERN MUNICH want to steal a march on Chelsea and sign Moussa Dembele for £30million.

But that move never materialised and West Ham also failed with a bid for the Frenchman.

Robert Lewandowski rescued a point six minutes from stoppage time for the German giants yesterday.

But doubts remain over the form of World Cup winner Thomas Muller, who aside from netting in the 5-1 drubbing of Arsenal, is quiet in front of goal.

Ironically, it is the Gunners who are said to be interested in signing the man with 27 goals in 41 games for the runaway Scottish Premiership leaders.

All of Dembele's admirers will be encouraged by the fact he scored again in the 2-0 victory over Motherwell yesterday.

Dembele opened the scoring from the spot 34 minutes in and James Forrest got another seven minutes later.

That brings the former Fulham star's tally in his last three games to an incredible seven.
