Karamoko Dembele set for Celtic exit as he earns transfer to one of Europe's top five leagues

Karamoko Dembele looks likely to make French Ligue 1 club Stade Brestois 29 his next move as his Celtic career comes to a close.

The winger has long been hailed as one of the club's finest academy products out of the recent crop but that hasn't translated into regular minutes at Parkhead. His first year under boss Ange Postecoglou - in which the Hoops claimed Premiership and League Cup glory - saw him injured in pre-season. It meant he played catch-up all season and eventually Dembele started turning out for the youth teams.

His contract was set to expire this summer and no news of an extension seemed to suggest that he was on his way out of Glasgow. Now French media outlet Le Telegramme report that an unnamed player referenced by Brest sporting director Gregory Lorenzi as signing for them is Celtic's academy graduate, who was once said to be a target for some of Europe's biggest clubs.
