Tottenham Hotspur are now rivalling Ange Postecoglou’s former club Celtic in the race for Motherwell talent Lennon Miller.
Celtic want Lennon Miller but now face a battle with their former boss Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham Hotspur.
That is according to TEAMtalk, who claim that Miller is attracting major interest ahead of the January transfer window.
Celtic and Tottenham supporters are no doubt hoping to see some important first-team additions when the market opens again.
Both clubs will still be looking for future talents though, in the hope of uncovering a gem to develop over the coming years.
Tottenham and Celtic both want Lennon Miller
Motherwell talent Miller may fit the bill, with both Celtic and Tottenham now keen to secure his signature.
TEAMtalk now claim that Tottenham hope to take Miller to England but face competition from a host of Premier League rivals.
Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Brentford and West Ham United are all believed to be interested.
Celtic are looking to keep Miller in Scotland though and will take on Old Firm rivals Rangers in the race.
Miller only signed a one-year extension earlier this month but Motherwell may soon receive offers for Miller’s signature.
Who is Motherwell talent Miller?
17-year-old Miller was born in Wishaw, just minutes away from Motherwell and their Fir Park home.
That is because Miller’s father Lee hails from nearby Lanark and enjoyed a fine playing career of his own.
A striker in his playing days, Miller senior turned out for the likes of Falkirk, Bristol City, Aberdeen, Middlesbrough and Carlisle United.
Motherwell talent Miller is more of a midfield player but has also featured out wide in his brief career to date.
Miller became Motherwell’s youngest-ever played in 2022, featuring in a cup tie at the age of just 16 years and six days.
Well legend Steven Hammell hailed Miller as a ‘fantastic’ young player and big things are expected of him in the coming years.
The Scotland Under-19 international appears to have huge potential and is now at the centre of a tug-of-war with Ange Postecoglou potentially trying to tempt Miller into snubbing Celtic and others for Tottenham.
