Karamoko Dembele has been linked with a potential move to Everton
Everton have been linked with a potential move for Karamoko Dembele. But what might the former wonderkid who played for Celtic’s reserves as a 13-year-old offer the Blues?
Invited to participate in a light technical training session with Celtic’s first-team squad soon after Brendan Rodgers’ appointment as manager, Dembele hit the headlines in October 2016 when he made his debut for the Bhoys’ under-20 development team when still four months shy of his 14th birthday. He went on to make 10 first-team appearances for the Glasgow giants before joining Breton outfit Brest on a free transfer in 2022 when his contract at Parkhead expired.
An examination of Dembele’s attributes on Comparisonator shows Dejan Kulusevski as being the most-similar player to him in the Premier League with an 83% match. Next up is another Tottenham Hotspur man, Giovanni Lo Celso on 78%, followed by Joao Pedro of Brighton & Hove Albion ; Phil Foden of Manchester City and James Maddison of Tottenham .
With an average of 5.95 dribbles per 90 minutes, he tops Premier League leader Ryan Gravenberch of Liverpool , who is followed by Bernardo Silva of Manchester City and Ryan Christie of Bournemouth . These runs also have purpose as Dembele’s 3.88 successful dribbles per 90 minutes put him ahead of the aforementioned Silva ; Bruno Guimaraes of Newcastle United and John McGinn of Aston Villa .
