Kit Symons once claimed Fulham prodigy Lasse Vigen Christensen could reach the very top – but will he unleash his potential at Celtic ?
If Celtic fans are concerned that reported target Lasse Vigen Christensen has not quite lived up to expectation, they can take solace in the fact that manager Brendan Rodgers has quite a handy knack of getting the best out of his young players.
The Daily Mail report that The Bhoys are interested in Fulham’s 22-year-old midfielder and could compete for his signature in the summer.
However, the Danish youth international’s links with Birmingham City and Sheffield United, plus the fact that he has spent the second half of the season on loan at Burton Albion after failing to break into Fulham’s first-team, will hardly set pulses racing north of the border.
Yet Christensen has plenty of time on his side and, under a manager who has only recently inspired a change in fortunes in the careers of Scott Sinclair, Stuart Armstrong, Callum McGregor and co, the dynamic midfielder could unleash the potential that once made him one of Scandanavia’s most exhilarating talents.
After all, Christensen is hardly lacking in either character or quality. According to Kit Symons, the youngster’s former boss at Fulham, he is ‘focused, driven and capable of becoming a top, top player’.
And with Rodgers thought to be attempting to target young, promising players capable of earning Celtic a profit down the line, Christensen certainly fits the bill.
In Glasgow the midfielder, who idolises Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen, could find a manger capable of embracing and encouraging his talents and giving him an opportunity to display them on a regular basis.
