The midfielder has emerged as a possible target for Celtic.

Celtic are reportedly monitoring former Crystal Palace youngster Reise Allassani, and signing the midfielder could prove to be an inspired move by Brendan Rodgers’ side.

After injuries and a lack of consistency prevented him from making the breakthrough at Palace, Allassani dropped down to non-league football, where he has thrived with Dulwich Hamlet, who play in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

As reported by The Sunday Post, Celtic are interested in signing Allassani, and if that is the case then they should certainly move quickly in an attempt to secure a deal for the 22-year-old.

Allassani is an excellent passer and dribbler and would surely relish the opportunity to play for Celtic and help Rodgers’ side in their quest to win further trophies.

It is true that Allassani must add consistency to his game, but the raw qualities are certainly there and this is a deal that could prove to be hugely beneficial for Celtic in the longterm, given the potential that he possesses.

Celtic have already secured deals for defender Marvin Compper and midfielder Lewis Morgan this month, while bringing in Allassani would further bolster their squad.
