Celtic are reportedly keen on signing Rico Henry.

Celtic have an eye on signing Rico Henry, The Scottish Sun report.

Henry is being lined up as a replacement for Kieran Tierney, with Brentford valuing him at £7 million.

Henry could really flourish with a move to Scotland and the chance to start afresh.

At Walsall he was regarded as one of the best left-back prospects in England before his move to Griffin Park.

Injuries have played their part in his progress stalling. Henry has played only 37 games since joining in 2016.

Now he hopes his injury concerns are behind him.

Henry was compared at Walsall to Ashley Cole, regarded as one of the best left-backs of his generation. Celtic would be gambling on this potential.

For Henry, the move to Celtic could be transformative. He would get the chance to compete for trophies and play European football.

His spell at Brentford hasn’t been a happy one, and a change of circumstance would be good for all. The Bees couldn’t argue if a £7 million offer does come in.

Celtic might not want to pay that due to his poor injury luck. But if Rico does move to the Scottish champions, he could propel his career to a new level.
