Celtic are among the clubs linked with the Brighton and Hove Albion teenager.

Aaron Connolly of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. celebrates his goal

Fans of Celtic and Brighton and Hove Albion are reacting to reports crediting the Bhoys with interest in the Seagulls striker, Aaron Connolly.

According to the Scottish Sun, Celtic are considering a January move for Connolly, who the newspaper claims is also interesting Leeds United, Hoffenheim and both Manchester clubs.

Connolly has scored 17 goals for Brighton’s Under-23 side this season and is said to be in talks over a new long-term contract at the Amex Stadium.

But according to the Sun, the Seagulls are also willing to loan him out next month.

This is what Celtic fans are saying about the prospect of a move for the 18-year-old…

And this is the Brighton verdict…

Celtic are down to one recognised striker after selling Moussa Dembele to Lyon on deadline day and granting Leigh Griffiths an indefinite leave of absence.

But with only two games of senior football to speak of, Connolly’s signing would represent something of a risk for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
