Celtic Wonderkid Karamoko Dembele Trains With England Days After Scotland Call-Up

Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele has reportedly been training with England - just days before he is set to play for Scotland.

The 13-year-old Hoops starlet travelled down south to join up with the Three Lions' Under-15s side this week, The Scottish Sun has reported.

The shock news comes as the Celts starlet prepares for his first taste of Scotland action in the Under-16 Victory Shield.

Dembele took the footballing world by storm after his substitute appearance for Celtic's Under-20s side against Hearts.

And a series of viral videos showcasing the youngster's incredible talents have caught the eye of Europe's big guns.

But it appears the kid star is keeping his options open over where his international future lies.

The London-born sensation is eligible for the Ivory Coast and England.

And having spent five years in school in Glasgow, he also qualifies for selection for the Scotland set-up.

Dembele is understood to be in the frame to make his Scotland youth debut against Northern Ireland on Sunday.

But the buzz surrounding the youngster hasn't exactly got everyone clicking their heels.

Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers has voiced his concerns for the super talent after his breakthrough at such a young age.

Rodgers believes the midfielder doesn't yet have the maturity to play beyond his years - and worries that being tackled by older players puts him at risk.
