Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all have been linked with Celtic forward Moussa Dembele.

Celtic's Moussa Dembele in action

Celtic forward Moussa Dembele has been in superb form this season. Dembele has established himself as a key figure in Brendan Rodgers’s side and is scoring goals left, right and centre.

As stated on Celtic’s official website, the 20-year-old has scored 26 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions so far this campaign. There is a very good chance that he could hit the 40-goal mark.

Dembele has been linked with a move away from Celtic. According to The Mirror, Premier League trio Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all are interested in signing the France Under-21 international forward in the summer transfer window.

Given that the Glasgow giants have sold some of their best players over the years (remember Victor Wanyama and Virgil van Dijk?), some fans will be worried that the former Fulham youngster would not be at Celtic Park next season.

Dembele, though, has suggested that he is happy at Celtic and is enjoying working with manager Brendan Rodgers.

“I feel like I’m becoming a better player,” the youngster told The Scottish Sun. “I came here to improve, as a man and a player.

“Every day with the manager I try to progress. Everything’s looking positive for me, so I’m enjoying it.”

Dembele’s comments should be encouraging for the Celtic fans. They clearly show that the youngster is enjoying himself at the club, and perhaps he would be able to resist the temptation of joining a top team in the Premier League in the summer transfer window.
