Karamoko Dembele, once lauded as a future football star and compared to Lionel Messi, is set to return to English football with a £2.5 million move to Queens Park Rangers (QPR). The 21-year-old winger, who was on loan at Blackpool last season from French club Brest, made a significant impact with eight goals and 14 assists.

His contributions were pivotal in Blackpool’s push for promotion, earning him the Players’ “Player of the Season” accolade. Dembele first captured attention at Celtic, where he joined at age 10 and made headlines in 2016 when manager Brendan Rodgers included him in the senior squad. His early debut for Celtic’s under-20 team at just 13 marked the start of a promising career.

After a stint at Brest, he is now poised to make his mark at QPR. The club narrowly avoided relegation last season, finishing 18th, but secured their place in the Championship with key victories in their final games.
