Celtic and Leeds United can be added to the list of clubs keen on the Brighton and Hove Albion striker, Aaron Connolly, according to the Sun.

The newspaper claims Celtic are considering a move for Connolly, who continues to be linked with Manchester United, Manchester City and Hoffenheim.

But it adds that Championship suitors such as Leeds could be priced out of a deal for the Irishman, who turns 19 next month.

Connolly has scored 17 goals for Brighton’s Under-23 side this season and is said to be in talks over a new long-term contract at the Amex Stadium.

But according to the Sun, the Seagulls are also willing to loan him out in January.

Celtic are down to one recognised striker after Leigh Griffiths was granted a leave of absence, although Leeds are not currently short in Connolly’s position, where they count Kemar Roofe, Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts among their options.

Would Connolly be a good addition for Celtic / Leeds United?
