Brighton and Hove Albion have offered Vincent Angelini the chance to train with the Premier League outfit after the youngster rejected a contract at Celtic, as reported by the Daily Record.

Promising youngsters may form the backbone of the rebuilding project at Parkhead but it seems a talented shot-stopper won’t be sticking around to fight for his place under the new regime.

Angelini is out of contract in July.

And, according to the Record, the goalkeeper has turned down a chance to extend his stay at the dethroned Scottish Premiership champions.

Tuttomercatoweb claims Everton, Southampton, Manchester United and AC Milan are battling to snap up the teenage goalkeeper.

Brighton are the latest side to express their interest, although there’s work to be done before Angelini is packing his bags and heading for the South Coast.

The Seagulls have offered Angelini the chance to train with Graham Potter’s side and are now awaiting Celtic’s response.

Brighton would have to pay a compensation fee if they decide to sign the Glasgow-born prospect following an initial trial.

The Premier League outfit are always on the lookout for exciting young talent, landing Polish duo Michel Karbownik and Jakub Moder in January while bringing in much-admired Ecuador international Moises Caicedo.
