Celtic starlet Karamoko Dembele could be set to switch his loyalty from England to Ivory Coast ahead of the upcoming international break.
He has been capped by both England and Scotland at Under-18 level but could choose to play his senior football for Les Éléphants.
According to The Telegraph, Ivory Coast manager Patrice Beaumelle has eyed Dembele to be a key player ahead of hosting the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 19-year-old, who is out of contract at Parkhead in the summer, could even face off against Gareth Southgate's side at the end of the month should he agree on the switch.
Dembele was born in South London before moving to Glasgow before the age of one, but both his parents were born in the Ivory Coast which explains his eligibility conundrum.
He has been on the fringes of the Celtic first-team of late but made a late substitute appearance in recent home win over St Mirren.
The youngster caught the eye of Ange Postecoglou after netting twice in a 5-0 Glasgow Cup triumph of Partick Thistle for the Celtic 'B' team.
And he now faces a decision at both club and international level with his future up in the air.
