Celtic striker Moussa Dembele responds to Man Utd, Chelsea interest

Celtic striker Moussa Dembele isn't getting carried away with interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

Despite intensifying interest from some of England's elite clubs, the French Under-21 striker made clear his intention to have another crack at Europe's premier competition with his current employers.

Asked about the transfer speculation, Dembele said: "That is what everyone is saying but I haven't said that. For me, I am here until the end of my contract and for many years.

"It is not something I think about. I don't listen to those stories.

"I want to keep playing in the Champions League and keep playing in the Champions League for Celtic first. Because I think I will stay here 100 per cent. I want to keep improving and keep developing as a player.

"Coming to Celtic and playing in the Champions League hasn't just been good for me, it's been good for the whole squad.

"We have a lot of young players and we have picked up a lot of experience against the best teams in the world.

"Hopefully we can come back even stronger next season."
