Celtic have secured Karamoko Dembele’s future with the club.
Celtic fans were already in great spirits after a 3-0 win over Dundee on Saturday afternoon, and more good news has arrived today.
The Bhoys sit top of the Scottish Premiership at Christmas, and there is another boost as teenager Karamoko Dembele has committed his future to the club.
Dembele joined Celtic in 2013 at the age of 10, and has earned a reputation as one of the top young talents in Scottish football during his time with the Bhoys.
The midfielder is just 15 but has been playing Under-20 football since 2016, and has now been given a first professional deal by Celtic today.
Dembele has committed his future to Celtic until 2021, and has been handed the number 77 shirt as he attempts to become a first-team star in the coming years.
Dembele will still be some way off Brendan Rodgers’ first team, but there will be real hope that he can emulate namesake Moussa Dembele in becoming a Parkhead hero.
Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate a ‘Christmas miracle’ with Dembele signing his new deal, with others predicting that he will become a ‘superstar of the future’ during his time with the club.
