The Mirror report Celtic are eyeing a move for talented Arsenal whizkid Chris Willock, as they start plotting next season’s success.
Willock is one of Arsenal’s most promising youngsters, but needs a chance to play regularly which Arsene Wenger has not afforded him.
The prospect of Willock signing for Celtic is an intriguing one, and one which would be even more fascinating if Rangers make a move for his brother.

Matty Willock is in the Manchester United academy, having left Arsenal two seasons ago, and has been a regular in their under-23 side this season making 18 appearances.
The 20-year-old midfielder though faces an almost impossible task breaking through at Manchester United, and may be on the lookout for a new club this summer.
New Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha could be in the perfect position to make a move, due to his friendship with Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho, who first recommended he study his coaching badges in Scotland several years ago.
Rangers may find it tough to sign Emerson Hyndman on a permanent basis from Bournemouth, and Willock could be handed an opportunity to earn a first team role.
