Brest announced this morning the signing of Karamoko Dembélé (19) from Celtic, who signs a four-year deal at the Breton club after being released by the Glaswegian outfit, where he signed a first-team deal at the tender age of 15.
Karamoko said in the official club statement: “I came to Brest because I saw that the project presented by Greg Lorenzi was good. It’s something that suits me and I think I can get playing time here. It is a great opportunity that was presented to me and I was interested”.
On his own style of play, the winger said: “I’m very explosive, I play on the right or 10, but I like to have fun and give pleasure to the fans and, of course, I like to score and win”.
The English right winger has struggled to make a big impact in Celtic’s first team, after making his reserve debut four years ago. Last season, the London-born, one-time England Under-18 international made just 10 appearances for Scotland, scoring a goal in 132 minutes.
Born in suburban London to Ivorian parents, Karamoko has played youth internationals for England and Scotland but remains eligible to play for the Ivory Coast, as is his brother Siriki, who plays for Premier League side Bournemouth.
