Chelsea is
knee on signing highly rated teenager Karamoko Dembele away from Celtic this
summer, according to reports in Scotland.
The
14-year-old, who has been likened to a Scottish Lionel Messi, is one of the
most exciting young talents in British football and has been electric at youth
level. At the age of just 13, he was already playing for Celtic’s Under-20
side.
According to
The Sun, Chelsea has already put wheels in motion to sign the winger, with Antonio Conte, has already snapped up
16-year-old Billy Gilmour from Rangers in January and wants to raid the Old
Firm for another prodigious talent.
Karamoko
Dembele isn't the only exciting Celtic prospect Chelsea have been linked with.
His namesake, Moussa Dembele, was touted as a potential arrival in west London
during the last transfer window.
Dembele is
eligible for both England and Scotland but turned out for the latter against
the Three Lions in a 2-0 win on Friday.
That was
during an Under-16s international tournament that the Scots emerged victorious
in, beating Uruguay 2-0 at Oriam a day later.
Having put
Qatar to the sword earlier, Dembele scored a penalty in the final against
Uruguay to wrap up the victory.
