Sunderland and Hibernian are both said to be interested in Celtic forward Lewis Morgan, who Brendan Rodgers says could leave.
Celtic forward Morgan has been linked with Hibernian and Sunderland in recent times (Scotsman) and Rodgers has confirmed that there has been a lot of interest in him.
But the Bhoys boss insists that nothing has been decided over the youngster’s future yet, and there could yet be a late twist in his potential move, as he could still remain at Parkhead.
“We’ve spoken about the idea of going on loan but he has a number of possibilities,” Rodgers said.
“He loved his time at St Mirren and it’s nothing against the club or manager. But speaking to him and his agent, if he moves out then it will be somewhere different.
“I haven’t heard anything from Hibs. There is quite a bit of interest around him. We’ll see where he ends up. He might even end up staying put. He’s a good boy who has been unfortunate here. The players who are in his position have played well and been consistently available. He is at the age where he needs to get games into his legs again.”
Morgan has struggled for game time so far this season at Celtic, so a loan move could benefit everyone involved.
At Sunderland Morgan would link back up with Jack Ross, who got the best out of him before during his time at St. Mirren.
The 22-year-old only officially joined Celtic in the summer, but Rodgers has generally preferred to pick other options.
Morgan has played 13 times for Celtic so far this season, but he has failed to score a single goal or provide an assist.
