Moussa Dembele signs for Celtic

Welcome to Celtic, Moussa Dembele!​

Brendan Rodgers has his first signing as Celtic manager, 19 year old Moussa Dembele. Signing from London club Fulham, the fans will be eagerly anticipating seeing the new man in action.

With Colin Kazim-Richards, Anthony Stokes, Carlton Cole and Stefan Scepovic leaving the club this summer, a striker was required.

Last season saw Fulham finishing 20th in the English Championship in 2015-16, Dembele will surely be relishing the prospect of Champions League football and a title challenge.

Notching up 43 appearances, the season just finished was the campaign that Dembele established himself as a first team player at Fulham. 17 goals in 46 appearances in the Championship at a team finishing 20th is a respectable record. The Celtic support are eagerly waiting to see what goal tally he can amass under Rodgers.

He started his career at French giants Paris Saint Germain, before moving to Fulham aged 16. He then impressed in Fulham's youth teams before establishing himself in their first team.

The immediate reaction from the fans has been overwhelmingly positive. Getting him signed at the beginning of pre-season will allow him to settle into his new life at Celtic, getting to know his team mates along with adapting to how Brendan wants the Champions to play.

The feel good factor is well and truly in full swing at Celtic Park, long may it continue.
