I think this is the second report from this site that claims Celtic have unearthed a new Karamoko Dembele. It seems the Celtic youth program is working a treat!!
With the Hoops struggling to find decent attacking options due to the mount of injuries to our first team squad, Football Fancast’s Matt Dawson has claimed the Hoops could have the answer already at the club.
Dawson reckons young Rocco Vata could be the next big thing to come out of Celtic Park and has likened the young winger, son of former Celtic star Rudi Vata, to that of the young Karamoko Dembele.
Dembele suffered an injury during Celtic’s pre season which has hampered the start to his season as it looked like this could have been his year to make his mark on the first team due to Ange Postecoglou’s faith in giving youth a chance to shine.
Vata scored a magnificent goal against Berwick Rangers back in August and has so far been tearing it up for the colts side in the Lowland Leagues

At just 15 years of age, Vata still has a lot of developing to do but Dawson claims young Vata has come on leaps and bounds so far this season.
Dawson also describes the young Republic of Ireland star as, “The youngster is a dynamic winger and based on his tricky qualities, he could become a new Dembele to Celtic. He is incredibly quick and he can hold off a defender by using his brute force.”
It seems the Hoops have a star in the making at Celtic Park and under Ange, he can only flourish.
