SNAPPED UP: Moussa Dembele

The highly-rated French forward penned a four-year contract at Celtic Park yesterday after leaving Fulham.

But a host of Premier League sides were said to be keeping tabs on him.

A source told Spanish outlet Fichajes earlier this month: "Arsenal have been interested in him for months, they have watched him in many games during the season.

"They think of him because of [Danny] Welbeck's injury."

Chelsea invited him to Stamford Bridge in April amid speculation they were ready to raid their local rivals.

But Dembele, 19, insists he only had eyes for Celtic.

"I had a few offers but I didn't have the same one I had with Celtic in terms of football," he said.

"I think it's the best place for me to be.

"I signed for Celtic because it's a massive club in Europe.

"I want to play in the Champions League and I think I can do this here. It would be special.

"As a young boy you always dream of playing in the Champions League.

"We have a chance to do that this season.

"It's up to us, we have to win the qualifiers.

"I want to score goals, I'm a striker. I want to score goals and win trophies because Celtic is a club that wins trophies.

"I came to Celtic to improve. I was in the Championship and I've come to the Scottish Premiership.

"I see my future here and hopefully I can score a lot of goals for the club and win many trophies."
