    Good stuff. He's another youngster but has already proven he can play at a good level. 17 goals for Fulham last season was good as they were quite low in the league. Hope he hits the ground running and from the little I know about him he will excite the fans as well with his style. Looks like he's not afraid to run at defences and even though he'll no doubt have some bad games, there is a good chance he could turn out to be a good one.

    All the best to him. Made my feelings clear in the Championship forum.

    Great signing, the boy has bags of potential but is already proven at a better level than our league.

    Big clubs dont show as much interest in him for nothing, good signing to get the ball rolling.

    Good signing by Celtic and for a little fee.

    This will be a good bit of business.. if he hits the ground running he could go on to make Celtic a few million once you sell him on.

    Good signing at that price. Massive talent. If Brendam can get his head straight you'll have some player on your hands.

    Not sure he's quite the player that's been made out with the Arsenal/Tottenham links though so hopefully he gets given a bit of flex if he doesn't hit the ground running.

    If his contract wasnt up I am sure a Prem side would have probably took a punt on him for very good fee outwith our reach.

    From the clips I have seen and going on reports the boy obviously has some real potential and is considered one who could eventually rise to the top and be a full internationalist.

    Now to get Joe Allen in and bring Joe Ledley home.

    I've never seen him play so I'm only going on how highly rated he appears to be. Establishing himself as a first team player in the championship at 19 years old is an encouraging sign.

    We should enjoy this guy whilst we can. Big clubs will be in with big cash offers for him.

    Hopefully we can get this season and next out of him before selling as he's a huge talent.

    Holds defenders off at ease, strong in the air, has a great touch, natural goalscoring instinct, can also get in behind and has a good work rate.

    He'll be a top player.

    Haha it's a certainty big teams will be lurking. This time though I think they'll be bigger teams than Southampton as he's already been a hit in the Championship at an early age.

    Hopefully we get a couple of seasons out of him but when he does go it'll be for big money.

    He has everything to take him right to the top.

    We will be lucky to keep him more than a couple years but it will be for a record fee when he goes.

    Scoring twice against a team from the most stupid league in history probably put around £5m on his fee already.

    From a freelance football writer who works in France. .

    Real Madrid, #Bayern and #Arsenal all had scouts watching #Celtic's Moussa Dembele last night. They'll have been impressed.
