Dembele played for Celtic’s Under-20 side aged just 13 and is seen as one of the hottest young talents in Europe.
He is eligible to play for both England and Scotland, but rocked the Three Lions after playing against England for Scotland in a 2-0 win on Friday.
That followed a stunning performance in a 7-0 win for Scotland Under-16s, where Dembele scored a brilliant solo goal, while having a hand in two more.
Scotland U16s won the tournament, beating Uruguay 2-0 in the final – Dembele scored a penalty in the win.
His extraordinary talent has inevitably caught the attention of Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
The Italian has already picked up Billy Gilmour, 16, from Celtic’s Glasgow rivals Rangers.
