Dembele joins Rodgers at Celtic
Moussa Dembele has become Brendan Rodgers' first signing since taking over at Scottish champion Celtic, after the striker signed a four-year deal.
The 19-year-old, who was out of contract at Fulham, caught the eye as he scored 15 championship goals in the 2015-2016 campaign.
Dembele moved to Craven Cottage from Paris Saint-Germain in 2012 and made his Premier League debut the following year.
He has represented France at every age group from under-16 to under-20.
“It’s a massive thing to come to this club and to be Brendan Rodgers’ first signing is something unreal for me,” he told Celtic’s website.
“The manager told me that Celtic is a good team for me. When I come here I will have game-time but I have to show that I can stay in the team, and it’s a good way for me to progress here with a massive stadium and the fans and the city. Everyone lives for Celtic and for me it’s unbelievable to play for a massive club like this.
“As a young footballer you have to get as much experience as you can to get to the next level and at Celtic I know I can win trophies and play European football, and it’s a massive club as well, so it feels good.”
