Chelsea putting plans in place to sign Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele
CHELSEA are reportedly putting plans in place to sign Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele.

Chelsea have already wrapped four major deals this summer as Antonio Conte targets another Premier League title.
The Blues eased to the prize last term, but that has not stopped Conte bringing in Antonio Ruddier, Willy Caballero, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Alvaro Morata.
Celtic, meanwhile, have gone about their business quietly with Kundai Benyu, Jonny Haywes and Olivier Ntchman all arriving.
However, they could be about to lose wonderkid Dembele, who rose to prominence after footage of him in action was published last year.
