Karamoko Dembele was born in London on 22 February 2003 (age 23) and came through at Celtic as a trainee. A diminutive right winger at 5ft 3in (1.61m), he was always an eye-catching youth name, though his senior career has been shaped far more by what came after he left Glasgow.
Dembele moved from Celtic to Brest in July 2022. That spell took him into French football, but it was more a staging post than the main part of the story. His career began to settle more clearly at Queens Park Rangers, where he became a regular league player rather than just a prospect with a familiar name.
QPR has been the club that has given his career its main body of work. Across three league seasons he has made 51 appearances and scored four goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2024-25, when he scored three times in 23 league matches. In 2026-27, he has also made an FA Cup appearance for the club.
Dembele’s path is a straightforward one: Celtic upbringing, a move to Brest, then a more established period at Queens Park Rangers. His early connection to Celtic remains part of the profile, but the substance of his senior career has been built in west London.
