Moussa Dembele to snub Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid to see out four-year Celtic deal, according to agent

Sponsored by

MOUSSA DEMBELE plans to honour his four-year deal at Celtic amid speculation that he is on the radar of a host of top European clubs, including Real Madrid.

Dembele has scored 27 goals in all competitions since joining from Fulham last summer and his agent, Mamadi Fofana, insists the France youth international only has eyes for Celtic Park.

But Fofana insisted: "Moussa doesn't stress. He signed a four-year deal at Celtic and, in his head, he'll be at Celtic for those four years.

"If he has to leave, that will happen at the right time, but it's not in Moussa's head nor my head. In January, there was speculation, but there will always be speculation if he does well.

"It's good. It means we are all doing well. The boy is doing well, Celtic are doing well and we as agents are doing the right things for everyone – but it's so important to focus on the right things.

"Moussa remains cool. He's not affected. I am not even thinking of the future. I don't wake up in the morning thinking where Moussa will go in the summer. The future does not exist. The past has gone.

"It's about being a better player right now. The plan with [manager] Brendan [Rodgers] and the club and Moussa is private, but I can say it will remain the same and it stays the same."

Fofana told the Daily Record that the move to Celtic has been highly beneficial for Dembele.

He added: "We are there for the boy to become a better player, for the club to achieve more things and the club wants to keep their best players.

"If Celtic ever wants to sell Moussa, it will be a common decision which is taken between everyone."
