Liverpool should monitoring Matt O’Riley at Celtic
In our view, Liverpool should continue to monitor O’Riley at Celtic.
The midfielder is a very talented and promising young midfielder, and the 21-year-old can only get better in the coming years.
Celtic are a massive club, and it will be interesting to see how O’Riley does at Celtic Park.
The attacking midfielder scored seven goals and gave five assists in 26 League One matches for MK Dons this season.
