Still just 19 years of age, Rodgers has outlined his plan for the youngster as Celtic's pre-season begins.
"He had the chance to stay or go to other clubs," the manager told CelticTV.
"He decided that Celtic was going to be the best next step for him in his career. So, he wants to be a part of a first-team setup where he can come and grow and develop. And obviously, here, this is what this environment is built for.
"So, we see him as a really exciting young talent. We lost a young player to West Ham at the end of last season, Daniel Cummings. We bring in another talented player who's come in, with bags of pace, [who] scores goals, and, as you say, he was really coveted by a number of teams. So, we're delighted to get Callum up here, and we'll have a look in pre-season and see where he's at from there.
"I think the plan is to take him in, have a look and see where he's at, and then decide what his development needs to look like. But just for us to get a young player of that quality, we're really pleased. And now the responsibility is his to grow and develop and see what he can make of his Celtic career."
