Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic and Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa have been linked with Nick Powell of Wigan Athletic in the summer transfer window.
Nick Powell may have failed to make a huge impact at Manchester United, but the versatile attacker is playing well for Wigan Athletic, and there is little surprise that Celtic and Aston Villa are reported to be interested in him.
Celtic are planning to make an offer for Powell in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun (print edition, page 60, February 4, 2018) (click here to read more).
The Sun (print edition, page 63, March 4, 2018) has credited Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion with interest in the former England Under-21 international, who can operate as a midfielder or as a striker (click here to read more).
