Arsenal Transfer News: Striker explains snub, West Ham eye starlet, Wenger on £45m rumours
EXPRESS SPORT brings you the latest Arsenal transfer news.
Moussa Dembele - Spotlight on
Moussa Dembele has explained why he opted to make a move to Celtic after leaving Fulham despite having offers elsewhere, with Arsenal and Tottenham said to be interested.
"I had a few offers but I didn't have the same one I had with Celtic in terms of football," the 19-year-old Frenchman said. "I think it's the best place for me to be.
"I signed for Celtic because it's a massive club in Europe. I want to play in the Champions League and I think I can do this here. It would be special.
Dembele, who scored 17 goals last season, added: "When you have a manager like Brendan who talks to you about the club and who convinces you to come, it's a massive thing.
"He told me about the club, about what he wanted to do with me in the future, and I was happy with that. Brendan is a very big manager and I can't wait to work with him."
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail claim West Ham are close to signing Gunners' Under-21s winger Tyrell Robinson on a two-year deal.
Arsenal are keen to keep hold of Robinson, who they handed a first professional contract to in January 2015, but he's already entered talks with the Hammers.

Lyon are reportedly looking to secure at least £45million for the France international, who scored 23 goals for the Ligue 1 club last season.
When asked about a bid for Lacazette, he told Canal+ Sport: "I can neither confirm or deny interest [in him]. If I say that I like the player it starts speculation."
