Celtic winger Lewis Morgan is reportedly wanted by Sunderland in the summer transfer window.
According to The Scottish Sun, the Black Cats, who will play in League One in England next season after getting relegated from the Championship, are interested in signing Morgan from Celtic in the summer transfer window.
Sunderland manager Jack Ross worked with the 21-year-old winger at St. Mirren, and it has been reported that he wants the youngster on loan at the Stadium of Light.
Morgan moved to Celtic from St. Mirren in the January transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £300,000, and was immediately loaned back to the Buddies for the rest of the season.
The Scotland international winger has told that he does not plan to leave Celtic in the summer transfer window, although he has admitted that anything is possible.
Morgan told The Scottish Sun: “I’m only focusing on Celtic. I want to stake a claim there. I’ve already been out on loan.”
The youngster added: “I spoke to the manager before the Scotland trip. He said to enjoy myself and that he’d see me on the 18th. My plan has always been to go into Celtic, do pre-season and get a chance.
“You never know what is going to happen, so you can’t say for certain. But I’ll be really trying to get into the starting XI.”
Celtic stay
Morgan is a very talented and promising young winger, and it is not hard to see why Sunderland manager Ross (reportedly) wants him.
However, the youngster should stay at Celtic Park and fight for his place next season. After all, the 21-year-old joined Celtic in January to play for the Hoops and not to go out on loan.
