Celtic boss Rodgers: I read about Chelsea, Arsenal wanting Dembele

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is confident of keeping hold of Moussa Dembele.

Rodgers insists he's relaxed over Dembele links with Chelsea, Arsenal and Marseille.

"I counted the other day, Moussa has been linked with 10 clubs," Rodgers told a press conference ahead of Celtic's Champions League qualifier against Rosenborg.

"It was Marseille the other day, I saw Arsenal the other week, there was Paris St Germain, there was Chelsea so there is nothing in it from our perspective.

"I felt if he progressed the way we thought he'd progress and if he wanted to move any time it would be after the second year.

"There is no rush from Moussa's perspective. He is a player that we really want to keep and if anything (offer) did come in we would assess it."
