Chelsea plotting swoop for 14-year-old Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele
Teen star one of the hottest properties in world football
CELTIC wonderkid Karamoko Dembele is back on Chelsea’s radar.
The Blues have already begun moves to snap up the tiny winger, 14.
Dembele played for Celtic’s Under-20 side aged just 13 and is seen as one of the hottest young talents in Europe.
He is eligible to play for both England and Scotland, but rocked the Three Lions after playing against England for Scotland in a 2-0 win on Friday.
That followed a stunning performance in a 7-0 win for Scotland Under-16s, where Dembele scored a brilliant solo goal, while having a hand in two more.
Scotland U16s won the tournament, beating Uruguay 2-0 in the final - Dembele scored a penalty in the win.
His extraordinary talent has inevitably caught the attention of Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
The Italian has already picked up Billy Gilmour, 16, from Celtic’s Glasgow rivals Rangers.
Dembele only signed a new Celtic contract in June, but that not has put the Blues off in their chase to land the youngster.
After signing, Dembele said: "I’m delighted to have signed at such a wonderful club and I think this is the right place for me to fulfil my potential and achievements."
Clubs from across Europe have Dembele on their radars, with scouts flying in to watch him help Celtic win the Marc Overmars Tournament in the Netherlands earlier this year.
