Dembele is certainly an exciting prospect, and he will no doubt be targeting a push for first team football at some point this season.

He impressed after making his first team debut against Hearts in the last game of the 2018/19 league season, coming on at half-time to play the second half of the 2-1 win.

The 16-year-old will face competition in his pursuit of first team football, however, with the likes of Mikey Johnston, Lewis Morgan, Scott Sinclair, James Forrest and Marian Shved all currently vying for a first team spot.
