The latest on Karamoko Dembele’s future after leaving Celtic in 2022
Karamoko Dembele was one of the most talked about Celtic youngsters of the last 10 years.
Excitement surrounding Karamoko Dembele reached almost fever-pitch levels as videos of the young attacker’s skill and trickery went viral online and hopes were high that he could be the next big academy graduate into the Celtic first team.

After earning the praises of Scott Brown after being introduced to the Celtic senior side’s training during Brendan Rodgers’ first spell at the club, Dembele failed to kick on despite being given his debut at the club in 2019 by Neil Lennon.
But after leaving Celtic in 2022, Dembele signed for French Ligue 1 side Brest on a free transfer.
Dembele set to leave Brest
After just 18 appearances for Brest in twelve months, Dembele joined Blackpool on loan last summer and has had a great season.
Unfortunately, nine goals and 14 assists for the League Two side are not enough to convince Brest to give him a chance and in an interview with L’Equipe, Brest’s Sporting Director Grégory Lorenzi confirmed Dembele will leave the club in the summer.
Brest had an incredible season in the French top flight after qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their History by finishing third in Ligue 1 behind Monaco.
It’s quite telling that the French club don’t see Dembele as good enough to comPete at the highest level after all the hype surrounding his capture in 2022.
However, Dembele still could earn his big move as reports in March suggested that West Ham, Everton and Nottingham Forest were all looking at the young 21-year-old attacker.
