After fracturing his ankle in pre-season, Celtic winger Karamoko Dembele finally appears as if he is ready to mount a charge on securing a regular place in Ange Postecoglou's first-team squad.Indeed, the 19-year-old winger - who is incredibly highly rated by both those at Parkhead and in the wider footballing world - is yet to play a competitive fixture under the 56-year-old Bhoys boss, although the England U18 international was included in the Greek-Australian manager's matchday squad in the 3-1 Europa Conference League defeat against Bodo/Glimt last week.However, after once again featuring for Celtic's B team in a 3-3 draw with Queens Park on Tuesday, the £225k-rated winger looks to be building up his match fitness ahead of a potential return to first-team action in the coming weeks.Although, while it is true that Dembele did get himself on the scoresheet in the Glasgow Cup fixture, it was undoubtedly the performance of the player who replaced the 19-year-old, Tsoanelo Letsosa, that most caught the eye against the Scottish League One side earlier this week.

The next Dembele?

There already appears to be a great deal of excitement about the future of Letsosa, with Kolo Toure reportedly having urged Brendan Rodgers to sign the 17-year-old for Leicester City, while no less than 60 scouts were believed to have been impressed with the winger after staring for Scotland U16s in the Victory Shield back in 2019.

And, considering the impact Letsosa had after being brought on against Queens Park on Tuesday, it is not difficult to see why a number of top clubs have been keeping a close eye on the teenager.

Indeed, with Tommy McIntyre's side trailing 3-2 in the 89th minute of the Cup tie, Letsosa receives the ball on the right-hand side of the opposition penalty area, sells an onrushing defender with a deft dummy before unleashing a thunderous drive into the far top corner to draw his team level - as can be seen below:

As such, should the youngster who Kick Off Magazine dubbed a "wonderkid" be able to keep up this form over the remainder of the season, the 17-year-old could very much become Celtic's next Dembele.

Perhaps he could even overtake the 19-year-old in Postecoglou's first-team pecking order - all that is required is for the 56-year-old manager to take a chance on the Scotland youth international.
