Celtic had great success with signing Patrick Roberts from Manchester City, and Brahim Diaz could do the same.

Celtic should try for Manchester City youngster Brahim Diaz, as he could be every bit as successful as Patrick Roberts has been in Glasgow.

Roberts joined Celtic way back in 2016 on a loan spell, and his initial stint was so successful he has now returned for a second loan.

Roberts will spend the duration of the campaign with Celtic, and may well end up permanently moving to the Scottish champions.

City by now trust Celtic – as the Bhoys have done wonders for both Roberts’ and Jason Denayer’s developments.

And Brendan Rodgers side now seem well placed to be able to do a deal for another of City’s top prospects in Diaz.

There was some expectations that Diaz would break into City’s first-team this season, but the wealth of Pep Guardiola’s attacking options have blocked his progress.

Diaz caught the eye over pre-season, but he is yet to make an appearance for City’s first-team.

And he could be a brilliant addition to Celtic, as they compete in two competitions.

Celtic look to have a chance of still being in Europe in 2018, and they also will want to extend their unbeaten record in domestic competition.

Diaz’s arrival at Parkhead seriously boost Celtic’s creative options, and he should be seriously considered by Rodgers, with the January transfer window looking on the horizon.
