The Celtic player continues to score at an impressive rate.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been speaking to reporters ahead of his side’s clash with Kilmarnock on Friday evening, with his comments posted on the Bhoys’ official Twitter account.
Among the subjects Rodgers discussed was the continuing good form of summer signing Moussa Dembele, who scored twice in France under-21s’ 3-2 victory against their English counterparts earlier this week.
Dembele netted a brace before Wylan Cyprien scored a late winner for the young French side, and Rodgers was quick to praise his player.
“I watched the game,” Rodgers said. “He was outstanding. You can see the boy’s quality and when you think he has just turned 20 as well.”
Dembele has already scored 16 goals in 24 appearances for Celtic and at this rate he looks set to become a club legend.
His two goals against Manchester City in the Champions League proved to any doubters that he is the real deal and Celtic will be desperate to keep him for the long haul.
Dembele’s current contract runs until the summer of 2020, yet after his recent form it would be no surprise if revised terms were offered sooner rather than later.
