TOTTENHAM have missed out the signing of Moussa Dembele who has chosen to join Celtic.
The 19-year-old let his contract at Fulham expire at the end of last season and had a host of clubs queuing up for his signature.
The former Paris Saint-Germain wonderkid was linked with Arsenal, Liverpool, Southampton and Juventus last season but has lined up a move north to the Scottish side and is reportedly having a medical on Tuesday.

The forward scored 15 goals for a poor Fulham side in the Championship last season and is a France Under-20 international.
