Man Utd & Chelsea target Dembele has potential of Coutinho & Sterling, says Rodgers
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers believes in-demand striker Moussa Dembele boasts potential similar to that he has previously seen in Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling.
Rodgers worked with that pair at Liverpool, introducing both into the first team fold at Anfield while still in their teens.
Rodgers believes a forward currently at his disposal is capable of emulating their achievements, with Dembele having drawn admiring glances from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United on the back of his efforts at Parkhead.
"He’s got huge potential,” the Hoops boss said in the Evening Times.
"He’s just turned 20 years of age. I’ve worked with some really top young talents. I took Coutinho from Inter Milan at 19, Sterling at 17, Suso I put in the team and he’s at AC Milan now.
"He’s certainly up there with the big talents. He has a fantastic mentality which helps him. He has talent but he’s also very focused on being a footballer."
Dembele has netted back-to-back hat-tricks for Celtic in his last two outings to take his tally for the season in all competitions to 26.
Rodgers believes the 20-year-old is destined for big things and has tipped him to become a star turn for club and country.
He added: "There’s no doubt in the next decade he’ll be leading France and being a real reference for the full national team.
Celtic: Dembele worth over £20m
"If he keeps the mentality that he has now, which is to work, to improve and be better, then he can achieve what he wants to achieve.
"He has all the qualities and he’s a good guy as well.”

Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City got injured and will be out of bounds for 3 months, very sad, he was doing well on his new team.

-
@Byku-Duma-Warmii It's sad that he suffered an injury
-
when we compare the treatment of Gabigol and Gabriel Jesus ....one put Aguero in the banch before his foot's injury and the other him play 10 min by match....Coutinho 2.0 it's sad

Gabriel Jesus really is superior to the Gabigol, since since the Brazilian team Jesus has been playing much better.

OMG. An hour ago, Leicester FC has annunciated the destitution of Claudio Ranieri. It is a sad notice for the football in general
-
@alvarorr_98 Wow
he is not a great manager, but managed to elevate the team in the biggest league in the world. Now we'll see if the team will stay where it should be in the league. -
@Levi-Rios The Leicester City FC is fighting for the second division, we hope that them not down.
-
@alvarorr_98 Yes...
I did not agree to the dismissal -
@Levi-Rios Me too. It is a really sad notice. I ``loved´´ Ranieri, his actions. He is a good person and I hope that he will find a free team soon.
-
@alvarorr_98 That. The team transfer bad, could not do this...
-
@Levi-Rios It is a wrong I think. The lave of Kanté was a great difficult for leicester now
-
@alvarorr_98 Yeah...
-
Shameful. I really liked Leicester but now I really hope they get relegated. Ranieri made a miracle last season, maybe the biggest in the football history and now this happens. In january he got a award for the manager of the year and in february he got sacked. He got sacked in a moment when they have to play a 2nd leg match in CL and where they need to score only 1 goal. OMG stupid board, I hope they will lose as many matches as possible.

How can you sack a manager who guided a team of average players to the premier league title. He's the best manager in the league defying the odds the way he did. Football is dead. Money money money.
The FA should introduce a ruling that states managers can only be changed during the transfer window, unfair on players and managers to get sacked outside this window.
If Leicester continue like this, it is impossible that they are getting relegated.. Next one at home against Hull, should win that too.
