Celtic are reportedly interested in signing Arthur Okonkwo.
Arsenal fans on Twitter are hopeful of keeping young goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, amid interest from Celtic and RB Leipzig.
The Sun reports that Arsenal stand to lose the highly-rated 16-year-old for free this summer and Celtic are one of the sides willing to swoop for him.
Okonkwo, who already stands at 6’5, is an England Under-17 international but is holding off on signing a professional contract with the Gunners, allowing the Hoops to possibly take advantage.
According to The Daily Record, Okonkwo, who doesn’t turn 17 until September, is considered one of the North London club’s potential gems, and some Arsenal fans on Twitter don’t want to lose him.
Here is their reaction to the rumour:
Celtic fans will be indifferent to the news of signing him, given that he is so young. Ideally, fans of the Parkhead side will want to see at least one new senior goalkeeper signed this summer.
Craig Gordon reminded everybody of his class with a fine performance against Rangers earlier this month, but the Scot turns 36 in December and perhaps it’s time that Brendan Rodgers recruits a young, better model.
