It has been a riveting season for Celtic, who have bulldozed past their opponents with relative ease under the remarkable tutelage of Brendan Rodgers and are on the verge of clinching a domestic treble. One of their finest products this season has unarguably been their scintillating poacher in the shape of Moussa Dembele. The Frenchman has banged goals left right and centre (17, to be precise) in the Scottish Premiership and has been the undisputed striker for the Celts.
However, in this process, Leigh Griffiths has found opportunities marginally hard to come by as he has had to content himself with the role of a deputy to Dembele who has been in red-hot form from the very start, apart from his own injury issues. Griffiths has found the back of the net on 8 occasions in the top tier of Scottish football out of 10 starts and has indeed shown that he is much better than being a second fiddle. With the likelihood of him vouching for an outlet in the summer in quest of regularity, should Fulham make a move to sign him?
Griffiths is a player of fine calibre and every team he has plied his trade in so far in his career, he has managed to score a handsome amount of goals. The 26-year-old is a smart professional up front, who is one of the most clinical strikers which Scottish football has on offer, holds the ball well in the final third, has a keen knack for passing the ball around and more often than not, he invites the attacking midfielders into the equation. He constructs the game brick by brick in the final third and has garnered a strong case for himself this term. Considering that he has the experience of English football whilst playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers, he should be appealing Fulham.
The Cottagers are amidst the compelling scheme of things in the Championship, as they are close to clinching a playoff spot. Irrespective of whether Slavisa Jokanovic manages to take the London based club over the line, it would be important for him to dig into the transfer market. Chris Martin might be taken back by Derby County after having impressed after his loan move to the Craven Cottage, and thus, signing someone like Griffiths would be a galvanising addition to the armoury of Fulham and can really help them in meeting their offensive needs in the coming seasons.
