Celtic should keep an eye on Stoke’s Ramadan Sobhi.
Mohamed Salah is not the only Egyptian making an impact in the Premier League this season.
While nobody can match the Liverpool maestro’s stunning campaign, his international teammate Ramadan Sobhi is quietly putting together a solid season.
Sobhi is just 21-years-old, four years younger than Salah, and he is attracting interest.
Stoke appear set for relegation, and Egyptian news outlet Ahram Online report four clubs are monitoring his services.
Scottish champions Celtic are a team who really should be in the mix.
Celtic need a replacement for Patrick Roberts, with the Manchester City prospect’s loan spell set to end this June.
Sobhi needs to find a club where he can shine, and it is a delicate balance.
If he signs with another relegation struggler, then he risks his development being stunted, with pragmatic and desperate coaches less inclined to indulge creative players.
A move to join Salah at Liverpool as has been touted, would be too much too soon, and he would be sat on the bench most weeks.
Celtic would be the perfect middle ground. Sobhi could join a dominant, winning team, under a manager with a proven track record of developing young players.
Champions League football would be a major plus too, and if Sobhi was to have just half the impact Salah has done, he would be an inspired signing.
