Moussa Dembele joined Celtic in the summer transfer window.
Didier Agathe has told The Scottish Sun that Celtic forward Moussa Dembele should not be compared to Henrik Larsson.
Dembele joined Celtic in the summer transfer window after leaving English club Fulham at the end of the 2015-16 season.
The France Under-21 international forward has been in brilliant form so far this season.
The 20-year-old has been scoring goals for fun and has been arguably the best signing of the summer transfer window in Scotland.
As stated on Celtic’s official website, Dembele has scored 19 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
Larsson is one of the greatest footballers in Celtic history and played for the club from 1997 to 2004.
The former Sweden international striker played a key role in the Bhoys clinching the Scottish league title four times and the Scottish Cup twice during his time at the Glasgow giants.
Former Celtic player Agathe, who is 41 years of age, has stated that Dembele should not be compared to Larsson at the moment.
“Moussa Dembele is doing very well for Celtic, but at 20, you cannot compare him to Henrik Larsson,” Agathe told The Scottish Sun.
“He was special, the kind of player a club only gets once every 100 years. Henrik is one of the best Celtic players of all-time, so it’s unfair to compare Dembele to him.
Celtic will return to action on January 22 when they take on Albion Rovers away from home at the Exsel Group Stadium in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.
