Chelsea fans have expressed their desire on Twitter for the club to sign Karamoko Dembele from Celtic once their transfer ban ends.

These calls for the 16-year-old’s signature have come after Chelsea fan Twitter account @TheBlues tweeted an article originally published by 90Min, who broke the rumour online.

This tweet containing the article soon gathered a number of replies from Chelsea fans keen to see the teenager sign for the club.

Here’s a sample of Chelsea fans calling for Dembele to sign for the club:

Chelsea are currently serving a transfer ban that has disallowed them from signing any player until after the 2020 January transfer window after 150 rule breaches involving 69 academy players over several seasons were revealed in a FIFA published article (BBC Sport).

Despite this ban, Chelsea have been rumoured to be eyeing up a move for Celtic’s right-winger, much to the approval of some Chelsea fans.

What do we think?

As a 16-year-old right-winger, Dembele would definitely be a signing for the future. The current emergence of Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi would most likely see the pair occupy the Chelsea wings for the foreseeable future. So if Dembele were to sign for Chelsea next summer, he would have some strong competition on his hands for a place in the first-team, which would likely result in taking up a place in the youth ranks for now.
