That settles that.
Moussa Dembele had been strongly linked with a deadline day move to Chelsea. The Celtic striker was also spotted on a flight to London on Tuesday morning.
Dembele was going to the city to get a scan on his knee, but being in such close proximity to Chelsea further increased speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League leaders.

Chelsea were, according to The Guardian, prepared to meet Celtic’s £30m valuation of the player, who joined the Scottish champions from Fulham for just £500,000 last summer.
Dembele has proved to be an excellent signing for Brendan Rodgers’ side. The French striker has scored 20 goals in 38 appearances so far this season, and has attracted attention from several Premier League clubs.
However, Celtic fans can rest easy, as it looks as though he won’t be leaving just yet.
The 20-year-old striker, seemingly responding to speculation, tweeted an image of him celebrating a goal alongside an image of Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Jordan Belfort from the film “Wolf of Wall Street.”
It looks like he’s not f****** leavin’.
