England Plot Swoop For Celtic Wonderkid Karamoko Dembele From Scotland

The England board are preparing an audacious swoop for Celtic starlet Karamoko Dembele from Scotland.

The 13-year-old (!!) is the talk of the town following his bow for Celtic's under-20's where he came off the bench playing the closing stages of the Hearts game on Monday night.

The Child prodigy was born in London, England, to Ivorian parents though moved to Scotland at the tender age of five. Leaving the very young man the option of representing not one but three nations at international level.

If you haven't work it out; he's eligible to represent Ivory Coast, Scotland or England. But The Daily Mail claim that the English FA will attempt to entice Dembele to don the Three Lions shirt.

Unsurprisingly though the Scots are desperate to keep a hold of him, and are set to field in him the Victory Shield Under-16s tournament which goes down next month.

They'll do everything in their powers to make sure they capture his services after missing out on the likes of James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady to Republic of Ireland, despite both players being born in Glasgow.
