HOOPS BOSS LAUGHS OFF MOUSSA TRANSFER LINKS

BRENDAN RODGERS has scoffed at transfer speculation surrounding last season’s 32-goal hitman Moussa Dembele.

The Celtic boss said: “I counted the other day, Moussa has been linked with 10 clubs.

“It was Marseille the other day, I saw Arsenal the other week, there was PSG, there was Chelsea, so there is nothing in it from our perspective.

“I felt if he progressed the way we thought he’d progress and if he wanted to move any time it would be after the second year.

“There is no rush from Moussa’s perspective.

“He is a player we really want to keep and if anything did come in we would assess it.”
