Celtic are reportedly interested in Bayern Munich prospect Christopher Scott, with Premier League side Brentford also chasing the teenage German talent.

As per the report, Scott is looking for regular football, and whilst the youngster has already made his Bayern debut and his thriving with the club’s second team, the Bavarian giants are not ready to hand the German youth international a permanent spot in the senior squad.
Compared to Chelsea superstar Kai Havertz as per the Bundesliga’s official website, a player the Blues paid a reported £71m for in 2020, Scott looks to have all the physical and technical traits to be an incredible attacker, and Celtic could be tempted to make a move for the teenager depending on where contract talks go.
Hailed for his versatility, Scott’s best position is as a no. 10, though the Celtic target has been known to play as a striker and in other various attacking positions for Bayern at youth level.
An excellent dribbler with pace and strength to breeze past opponents, it’s no wonder why both Celtic and Brentford are interested in Scott, and if Bayern are unable to hand the youngster a new contract, the Hoops must ensure they win the race for the teenager.
Scott could be Postecoglou’s latest masterclass signing for Celtic
Ange Postecoglou’s transfer record at Celtic has been nothing short of sensational since arriving in Scotland last summer, and the Australian coach could pull off another incredible signing this summer in the form of Scott from Bayern.
At 19 and already hungry for regular football, Scott could be sensational in Scotland with Celtic if he is willing to take the risk and move to Glasgow, where he could develop greatly into the fantastic player many expect the young German to do so in the coming seasons.
