Manchester City 'close in on Celtic youngster Karamoko Dembele'

Karamoko Dembele is a rumoured target for Manchester City, who have reportedly been tracking the Celtic teen for a number of months and are preparing to make an offer.

Celtic youngster Karamoko Dembele is reportedly wanted by Manchester City to join the club's growing list of academy stars.

The 13-year-old made headlines last week when he was introduced as a sub for the Hoops' Under-20s side, seeing him go up against players seven years his senior.

Dembele has already been dragged into a rumoured international tug-of-war between Scotland and England over his long-term eligibility, while his club future could also now be in the air.

According to The Sun, City have been tracking the teenager for a number of months and are now looking to strike a deal to bring him south of the border.

A source is quoted by the newspaper as saying: "He is very talented. The club is always searching around Europe for another potential star and Dembele is one being looked at."

It is claimed that Celtic used Dembele in an Under-20s match to prove that they developed the youngster, which can then help their case in court to gain compensation should a club attempt to sign him.
