New Celtic signing Moussa Dembele describes his move to the Scottish giants as "unreal" and "unbelievable".

New Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has expressed his delight at completing a move to the Scottish giants.

The 19-year-old put pen to paper on a four-year deal at Celtic Park earlier today, becoming manager Brendan Rodgers's first signing since taking over at the club.

Dembele, who scored 17 goals for Fulham last season, is raring to get going for his new side and revealed that he has been promised game time by Rodgers.

"I'm happy to be at a massive club like Celtic and I can't wait to start scoring goals," he told Celtic TV.

"To be the first signing of Brendan Rodgers is unreal for me. He told me that Celtic is a good team for me. I will have game time. I obviously have to show I can stay in the team.

"I think it's a good way for me to progress, with a massive stadium and the fans and the city. Everyone lives for Celtic and it's unbelievable for me to play for a massive club like this."

The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur had all previously been linked with a move for the teenager.
