Derry football fans got a taste of Dembele’s stunning potential and silky skills during the Foyle Cup Youth Football tournament in the summer as he played a key role in Celtic’s U14 title victory at Brandywell Stadium.

In the 1-0 win over Derry Colts in the Final, Dembele stood out with his frightening pace and ability to run with the ball.

Adam Mountgomery hit the headlines with his strike winning the game for the Scottish giants but it was Dembele’s name which was on the lips of those in attendance for his terrific contribution.

A future Parkhead star for sure!
