The French under 17 currently plays for Stade Reim where he’s made 13 appearances this term.
Nathanaël can play across the midfield but he’s mostly known as a left sided winger.
Our social media posted some information about the player along with his only goal so far this season.

The youngster has come through the ranks at Stade Reims and hasn’t done a lot in his career at only 18. Yet, TransferMarkt have the player valued at over £7m! A fee, if true, would scare off Celtic immediately.
Celtic are all for projects and we have seen this with Edouard but he was brought in on-loan for a season to see if he could handle the Scottish game and so the club could get a closer eye on him before spending big money.
When it comes to players and positions, it’s not a priority for Celtic at this moment in time.
