Luis Suarez went for the money that he went for."He was an international player and after two years he left a world-class player. So this kiddie has the potential in value. “Celtic won’t have to worry about players going for £10m any more.“The kid still needs time. I think everyone wants to get him in and then sell him off.”Dembele has netted 16 times in 24 appearances this season, with four of those efforts coming in Champions League competition.</blockquote>
