Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic reportedly want Reo Griffiths, who is claimed to have left Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Football.London, Reo Griffiths has cancelled the third-year scholar contract he signed with Tottenham Hotspur in June.

The Sun has claimed that the 18-year-old striker wants to join a club where he has a pathway into the first team over the next 12 months.

The talented and promising youngster reportedly wants to join a club where he can plau, and it is precisely because of this season that Celtic are unlikely to be his next destination.

According to The Sun, Celtic are interested in signing Griffiths this summer, but the striker’s reported desire to play first-team football means that the Glasgow giants may not be too appealing to him.

The Glasgow giants already have three quality strikers – Leigh Griffiths, Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard.

Griffiths is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership, while Dembele is one of the most promising young players in Europe.

Celtic made Edouard’s loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer, and it is hard to see Griffiths getting much playing time under manager Brendan Rodgers next season.
