Liverpool have turned down an approach from Celtic for winger Harry Wilson, the Echo reports.
Celtic are said to have inquired about both loan and permanent deals for the 20-year-old, who Bhoys manager Brendan Rodgers knows from his time at Anfield.

However, the report states that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp sees Wilson as being part of his plans for next season, and won’t be sending him to Celtic Park.
Wilson scored 28 goals for Liverpool’s Under-23s last season, prompting his elevation to the first team, for whom he has appeared only once competitively so far.

However, the once-capped Wales international did appear in the Reds’ post-season friendly in Sydney on Wednesday.
It is currently unclear whether on-loan winger Patrick Roberts will return for a third season at Celtic, and alternatives are likely to be sought in the meantime.
