Moussa Dembele has told the Celtic fans that the goals will come as he looks to make his mark on the Hoops this season.

The 20-year-old forward has yet to find the net for his new club since arriving in a four-year deal at the end of June, but he has insisted that he will continue the form he showed at Fulham last season with the Parkhead side.

Dembele hit 17 goals for the Championship last season and was the subject of a January transfer bid from Tottenham Hotspur, but he has appealed for patience as he looks to get off the mark at Celtic.

“I understand that people are expecting from me personally and I understand what they are expecting from me,” said the Frenchman. “But they have to be patient and I have to be patient as well. I want things to come quickly and so do others, but it can be hard and I just want to produce good games for the team and, hopefully, everything will go well.

“It almost feels as though we are still in pre-season and we are getting fitness up game by game for the challenges which are coming. I feel as though I’m getting fitter and sharper with every game that I play.”

And the striker believes that he is capable of forging a decent partnership with Leigh Griffiths, who has started this season as he ended last.

“He’s [Griffiths] started the season really well, but he showed his quality last season with the amount of goals that he scored,” said Dembele.

“That’s what he does and it’s good for me to play alongside him, just as it’s good for him to play alongside me, I think. That’s good for the team and, hopefully, we can produce good things for the team and the club. The fans expect many goals from us this season and they are right. We have to show that we can play good together.”

And Dembele is well aware of just how vital the second leg of tomorrow night’s UEFA Champions League qualifier is against FC Astana.

“Wednesday night is a huge game for us as players and for the club on the whole,” said Dembele. “But it is that the team wins which is most important for me because we really want to progress. If I score, that would be good for me, but it’s all about the team, getting the right result, it’s not about me.

“Astana is a good team and it was close between them and us in the first leg. We scored that goal away from home which is an advantage for us, but it is only the first half and the second half has not even started yet.”
