​Chelsea target Dembele won't leave until Celtic Champions League fate is decided - Rodgers

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has made it very clear that he won't allow striker Moussa Dembele to leave before the Hoops have played their Champions League qualifiers.

The 20-year-old, who scored 24 goals in all competitions for the Celts last season, is reportedly a summer target for Antonio Conte's Chelsea.

"Moussa is very content and happy," said Rodgers.

"He is not a player we want to sell, but we know how football works and we'll see what happens.

"But certainly not until after the Champions League qualifiers, there won't be anything done before then."
