Blackpool have secured the signature of Karamoko Dembele on a season-long loan from French side Brest.
The 20-year-old made worldwide headlines seven years ago when, at just 13-years-old, he turned out for Celtic's U20 side. Dembele was introduced in the final minutes of a clash with Hearts, as football fans scrambled to find out more information about the talent.
Celtic's official match report said Dembele "didn’t look out of place and played his part in the closing stages".
Dembele went on to make nine first-team appearances off the bench for Celtic, but he swapped Glasgow for Brest last summer.

"I like to bring excitement and entertainment to the pitch, and hopefully I can add some goals and assists to the team this season."
