According to the Glasgow Evening Times, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in snapping up Celtic youngster Daniel Kelly.
It’s claimed that Celtic fear losing Kelly, with other talents moving on. Liam Morrison left Celtic for Bayern Munich last summer, and Barry Hepburn will follow him this summer.
The Scottish Sun note that Josh Adam could leave for Manchester City, and Celtic are left sweating again. This time, it’s Kelly being targeted for a move away.
The 15-year-old has allegedly been offered professional terms by Celtic, but Manchester United and Leicester City – managed by Brendan Rodgers – are interested.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are also in the race, meaning Celtic may struggle to keep hold of Kelly when the transfer window opens.
Kelly predominantly plays as a box-to-box midfielder, and has been featuring for Celtic’s Under-15’s, Under-16’s and Under-18’s already.
Kelly allegedly impressed in the Sheffield Trophy, where Celtic’s youngsters finished as runners-up to Seattle Sounders – and that’s where scouts spotted him.
A move to England may be on the cards for Kelly, but Celtic are at least fighting to keep him in Glasgow.
