According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Everton and Southampton have enquired about Celtic’s young goalkeeping prospect Vincent Angelini.

The Italian news outlet states that the 17-year-old’s contract negotiations with the Bhoys aren’t going smoothly.

As a result, a number of clubs have asked about the feasibility of a potential deal, with the glovesman’s contract at Celtic Park expiring in June.

Everton and Southampton have lodged enquires, while Manchester United, AC Milan, Lazio and Atalanta have also made contact.

While Angelini can boast Scottish citizenship, he also holds an Italian passport thanks to his father.

Interestingly, the prodigy is the grandson of Celtic legend Davie Hay.

As a result, TuttoMercatoWeb add that he would like to try the Italian experience in his homeland, which should alert AC Milan, Lazio and Atalanta.

TuttoMercatoWeb also say that Angelini is ready to leave the Hoops.

A free transfer looks likely this summer unless there is a breakthrough in contract talks.

The young shot-stopper – who Celtic describe as ‘talented’ on their official website – seems to be a real prospect if clubs of Manchester United and AC Milan’s stature are watching him.

In that respect, if Everton or Southampton can fend off the competition to sign him, they can give themselves a firm pat on the back.
