Celtic have already been interested in one of Liverpool’s young wingers, after chasing Ryan Kent during the summer transfer window.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool are set to allow Harry Wilson to move on loan in January.

Wilson impressed for Liverpool over pre-season, and he was kept around at Anfield, in the hope that he may break into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team.

However, the 20-year-old has not played for Liverpool at all this term, and now looks set to be given opportunities elsewhere.

Celtic may have started the season in excellent form, but Brendan Rodgers was looking for another attacker in the summer transfer window.

And signing Wilson on loan may just be a good option for the Bhoys.

Celtic attempted to sign Ryan Kent last month, but failed in their bid to bring the young winger to Parkhead.

However, they may have more luck in pursuit of Wilson – who looks to have a similar level of ability.

Wilson is very highly regarded by Liverpool’s coaches, and Celtic have already seen the advantages of signing Premier League youngsters on loan.

Patrick Roberts had major success in Glasgow and has recently signed up for another year with Celtic.

And Wilson may just be an option on Rodgers’ radar, if Celtic are still in the market for another winger in January.
