Peterborough have slapped a £4million price tag on forward Siriki Dembele, per a report.
The 25-year-old occupies any position along the frontline. He was a key player in Peterborough’s promotion to the Championship last season. Scoring 11 goals and grabbing 10 assists, the attacker attracted huge interest during the summer. Fulham were one of the many clubs that wanted to sign Dembele but their attempts were rebuffed.
The Posh forward hasn’t been as prolific so far this campaign. In 16 Championship outings, he’s got four goals and one assist.
According to Football Insider, Peterborough are reluctant to lose their leading goalscorer. Therefore, they’re hoping the £4million valuation will make interested clubs look elsewhere.
Glasgow giants Celtic and Rangers are also keeping a close eye on Dembele. The Hoops have real pulling power as the forward’s brother Karamoko is on Celtic’s books.
If Fulham were to move in once again for his signature, he would join a frightening attacking line-up.
Alexsander Mitrovic has been in scintillating form this season. Scoring 20 goals in just 17 Championship games, he’s been unstoppable. Alongside the Serbian, the Cottagers also possess Harry Wilson, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Neeskens Kebano.
His contract expires at the end of the season. Therefore, Darren Ferguson may look to cash in on the frontman in January. Especially given that Dembele has rejected a new contract offer as he looks to depart Weston Homes Stadium.
Competition for him will be ramped up in January but Fulham will hopefully think with them pushing for Premier League football, it will entice Dembele to sign for the west London side.
