Karamoko Dembele Celtic transfer 'destiny' as winger's dream move named by brother amid free agent prospect

Bournemouth winger Siriki Dembele reckons he is "destined" to play alongside his brother Karamoko amid his looming Celtic contract decision.

The 19-year-old is the most highly-touted player to emerge from Scotland in years but hasn't made the breakthrough into the Parkhead first-team.

It leaves Ange Postecoglou with a decision to make on Dembele's future with the winger's contract set to run out in the summer.

Siriki, who has been linked with a move to the Scottish Premiership before his move to the Cherries, kept his cards close to his chest when discussing his brother's career.

However, he is convinced the pair will line up together at some stage.

Speaking to the Bournemouth Echo about the prospect of a move to Rangers or Celtic, he said: "I don’t know about that happening or anything.

"But playing alongside my brother, I think that will happen one day. It would be nice, it would be very good. But when that time comes, I think it will happen.

"But for me, right now, the most important thing was to get myself here (at Bournemouth), because I think it was the best option for me."
