Celtic have reportedly beaten Wolverhampton Wanderers to the signing of an Irish ‘wonderkid’.
The Record have claimed that Celtic have pipped Wolverhampton Wanderers to the signing of Ben Quinn.
The 15-year-old Irishman will move to Parkhead next season, with Quinn photographed alongside Celtic’s chief executive Peter Lawwell.
The Record claims that the wonderkid – nephew of former Hull City star Stephen Quinn – had offers of trials at Wolves and even Manchester City.
But the presence of fellow Irishmen Tommy Caffrey and Barry Coffey convinced him to move to Glasgow.
Quinn will not be eligible for a senior appearance until he turns 16, but even then that could be a while off yet.
Karamoko Dembele is the Celtic academy’s hottest star at the moment and if he is nowhere near first-team football, which he isn’t, then other starlets will have to be patient.
The Bhoys have a number of exciting young players and were beaten 3-2 by Rangers in the Scottish Youth Cup final this week.
