Blackpool Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Karamoko Dembele on a season-long loan from French top division side, Stade Brestois.
Dembele, 20, signs for Pool with a glowing reputation in the game. The forward joined Celtic's Academy at the age of ten, before making his debut for their U20 side at just 13 years of age. He went on to sign his first professional contract with the Club at 15, making his first-team debut a year later for the Scottish side.
A player with international experience at youth-team level for both Scotland and England, Dembele moved to Stade Brestois in July 2022 where he made 15 appearances in Ligue 1 last season.
Karamoko Dembele said:
"I'm super excited to be here and to meet the players, staff and supporters.
"I've had some good moments in my career so far at both Celtic and Brest, and those experiences have helped me develop as a person and a player, and hopefully that will help me during my time here.
"I like to bring excitement and entertainment to the pitch, and hopefully I can add some goals and assists to the team this season."
Neil Critchley said:
“Karamoko is someone who will provide us with flexibility in how we want to play at the top of the pitch. He has attributes that we believe can bring a different dimension to our team, and we’re excited to see what he can produce in a tangerine shirt.
“Having gained experience in the French top division and coming up against Marseille as recently as Saturday, we’re looking forward to integrating Kaddy in to the group and helping him develop during the season.”
