Celtic could yet lose another one of their young players before the window is closed. There have been rumours for a while now about Leo Hjelde potentially moving to Leeds.
Reports over the past 24 hours claim Leeds are growing confident of landing the Norwegian defender which would be another blow to Celtic trying to bring these young guys through.
Football insider claim the Hoops defender, who spent last season out on loan at Ross County, is keen to join the English club.
Eagle eyed supporters then noticed Leo has started following Leeds on his Instagram account.

It’s up to Celtic to push for Leo to stay and sign a new deal at the club. The 18-year-old has the talent to break through into the first team.
The club are light on defensive options and Leo could be someone Ange looks to bring through over the course of the season.
The defender has one-year left on his Hoops deal at present.
Will be gutted if this young lad slips through our fingers. Fingers crossed he stays.
Against West Ham he did nothing to inspire me. He looked slow and uninterested. Like Ange said, if you don’t want to be here – move on.
