Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told the club’s official website that Moussa Dembele has impressed no end when it comes to his pressing and tactical ideas.
Dembele joined the Scottish champions in the summer transfer window in a free transfer from Championship side Fulham.
He has proved to be a big hit in Scotland, scoring seven goals in all competitions so far.
He was in fine form again this weekend as he managed two goals in his side’s comfortable 6-1 win over Kilmarnock.

Rodgers has already told BBC Sport that the 20-year-old “has a lot of improvement in him” but says he has already improved no end in two areas of his game.
“He has improved no end in his pressing and his tactical ideas of the game. If he can add that to the quality, ability and confidence he has, then he can keep progressing really well,” he told the club’s official website.

Celtic are currently top of the Scottish Premiership with 16 points from their first six games of the season.
They are four points clear of second-placed Aberdeen but could increase that to seven points should they win their game in hand.
They return to league action on Sunday when they take on Dundee away from home.
First, though, they must negotiate a tough Champions League clash against Premier League leaders Manchester City at Celtic Park.
