Moussa Dembele’s agent in huge Celtic admission

Celtic youngster Moussa Dembele is regarded as one of the best youth talents in Europe at the moment.

The 20-year-old, who joined Celtic in the summer, has emerged as one of the best strikers in his age-group in the world football since his move to Scotland.

The Hoops paid Championship club Fulham a paltry sum of £500,000 as development fee for the Frenchman, who is now attracting figures upward of £40m in the transfer market.

The youth France international has scored 27 goals this season in all the competitions. According to recent reports, Dembele is a target for the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Chelsea in the market.

However, Dembele’s agent, Mamadi Fofana has suggested that the Celts have not given him any intimation that they want to sell their most-prized asset.

He also stated that his client is happy and content at Celtic Park and could even see out his four-year contract with the Hoops.

“Moussa doesn’t stress,” Fofana said. “He signed a four-year deal at Celtic and in his head he’ll be at the club for those four years.

“If he has to leave that will happen at the right time, but it’s not in Moussa’s head or mine. In January there was speculation, but there will always be speculation if he does well.

“But Moussa’s not affected. I am not even thinking of the future. I don’t wake up in the morning thinking, where will Moussa 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 Brendan and the club and Moussa is private, but I can say it will remain the same just now.

“We are there for the boy to become a better player, for the team to achieve more things and the club wants to keep their best players.

“If Celtic want to sell Moussa it will be a common decision which is taken between everyone. But at the moment I can be no clearer in saying there is no discussion between me and Celtic about Moussa leaving in the summer or even next January.”
