Brendan Rodgers brought the French youngster to Celtic in the summer.
Celtic striker Moussa Dembele spoke to reporters in the aftermath of his side’s impressive 5-2 away victory at St Johnstone yesterday, and responded to rumours linking him with a move to Premier League giants Chelsea, as quoted by the Metro.
Gordon Strachan shares relief concerning Celtic star
The 20-year-old Frenchman was in scintillating form yesterday, and managed to score a hat-trick after being introduced to the game at McDiarmid Park after 59 minutes.
He has been out with a knee problem of late, and returned to the Hoops side having missed their last three outings, and being heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the latter stages of the January transfer window (Sky SPORTS).

But Dembele rejected talk of a potential move away from Celtic, when speaking to reporters, sharing his current state of happiness at Parkhead, as quoted by the Metro:
“I don’t really listen to what is being said about me I just keep my head down and keep working. I was out with my knee and just tried to get back as we quickly as I can. Yeah my future is here and I’m enjoying it.”
Celtic’s Moussa Dembele
The former Fulham man has scored 23 goals in 39 outings since his switch to Glasgow, and is fast becoming one of Europe’s most in-demand strikers.

And Celtic will most certainly have their work cut-out in their hopes of keeping hold of him, despite his reassuring words.
