Celtic sign Fulham striker Moussa Dembele

France Under-20 striker Moussa Dembele has signed a four-year contract with Scottish champions Celtic at Parkhead.

The 19-year-old has been linked with the likes of Tottenham, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain in the last year, but has chosen to join the Scottish champions after leaving Craven Cottage.

Dembele has scored 17 goals for Fulham in 46 games last season and is Brendan Rodgers’ first signing at Celtic.

He joined Fulham from Paris St-Germain as a 16-year-old and made his debut for the London club in a Premier League game against West Ham United in November 2013.

His goals helped Fulham avoid relegation last season as the London club finished 20th in the English Championship, two places above the drop zone.

Dembele told Celtic’s website: “To be the first signing of Brendan Rodgers is unreal for me. “He told me that Celtic is a good team for me.

I will have game time. I obviously have to show I can stay in the team.

“I think it’s a good way for me to progress. It’s unbelievable for me to play for a massive club like this.”
