Karamoko Dembele, born in London on 22 February 2003 (age 23), is an English right winger now with Queens Park Rangers. Compact at 5ft 3in (1.61m), he came through at Celtic as a trainee before his senior career moved away from Glasgow.

He left Celtic for Brest in July 2022, a move that took him into French football rather than into a settled role in Scotland. That spell became a staging post rather than the main body of his career, with his more substantial football coming later at Queens Park Rangers.

At QPR, Dembele has become a regular first-team player rather than a name carried by early promise. Wearing squad number 77, he has made 51 league appearances across two seasons, scoring four goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2024–25, when he scored three times in 23 appearances.

He has remained involved in 2025–26, with 28 Championship appearances and one goal, plus one FA Cup appearance. In all competitions this season, he has made 29 appearances for Queens Park Rangers and scored once.

Dembele’s career began at Celtic, moved through Brest, and has found its clearest shape at Queens Park Rangers, where he is still part of the current side.

Karamoko Dembele has been involved regularly for Queens Park Rangers in the 2025-26 Championship, with 28 league appearances including 17 starts and 11 from the bench. The single league goal keeps the output modest for a right winger, but the split between starts and substitute appearances suggests he is a first-team option rather than a fixed attacking reference point. He has also added one FA Cup appearance, with three league bookings and no reds.

Dembele’s career has moved through four clubs – Celtic, Brest, Blackpool and Queens Park Rangers – without the clean upward curve once expected of him as a high-profile Celtic academy player. The trajectory is now more pragmatic: a free move to France, EFL loan spells, then a permanent place at QPR. At 23, the pattern points to a player still converting early promise into sustained senior influence.

The transfer history shows a reset after Celtic, with Dembele leaving on a free transfer to Brest in 2022 before being moved through loan spells at Blackpool and QPR. QPR first took him on loan in 2024, then made the move permanent for an undisclosed fee in 2025. That sequence suggests Brest became a stepping stone rather than a settled home, with his level stabilising in the Championship.
