Celtic announce the signing of Moussa Dembele from Fulham on a four-year deal.

Celtic have won the race to sign Fulham striker Moussa Dembele, who has inked a four-year contract with the Scottish giants.

The 19-year-old, who rejected a new deal at Craven Cottage, has been linked with numerous clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

Italian giants Juventus were also touted as a potential suitor, but the teenage forward has opted to move to the Scottish Premiership to work under former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.

Dembele, who joined Fulham's academy when he was 16 years old, scored 17 goals in all competitions for the Championship club last season.

The forward is Rodgers's first summer signing since the Irishman took over from Ronny Deila in May.
