And while that hasnt quite happened yet, this is certainly the first step after penning his first full-time deal as a professional footballer.Speaking to the official Celtic website, Dembele said: It means a lot to me to start my professional career at Celtic. I came here at a young age, and, after all the stuff me and family have been through together, itll be good to make them proud.“Id like to say thank you to everyone, and Id like to thank everyone for everything theyve done for me. Id also like to thank everyone for the training Ive received, the discipline Ive been taught, and the advice Ive been given all the way.3

Dembele has held his own against players several age groups above him

“Getting attention at a young age has been hard, but Ive obviously had my family to help me through that. You need to be strong mentally, you need to stay grounded, and you just need to get on with everything that you do on a daily basis.“Seeing players come through the Academy and into the first team gives you hope, because you know theyve taken the same path. That means youve got a chance to make it into the first team if you work hard and give it your all.3

Karamoko Dembele has set his sights on a place in Brendan Rodgers’ senior Celtic side

It appears that despite the huge attention he has drawn from not just in Scotland but in wider European football, Dembele is keeping his feet on the ground.But the humble teen star admits he has only one aim after signing his first pro contract: My goal is to play for the first team.As soon as I can, Im going to try to get into the first team, 100 per cent. In the Reserves, every training session, every game its all to prove myself to the manager that I can play in the first team.
