It’s worth noting that Celtic made no official approach for the player; despite holding an interest in him. It would be borderline impossible to compete with Newcastle with the amount of funds they have available to them.
It also looks like Celtic is exploring another market which they haven’t used for a few years.
The acquisition of the player would’ve been exciting; he’s a talent that some have labelled a ‘wonder kid’. He’d come into Celtic with some great experience at the senior level, looking to break into the first team, which is already packed with quality.
It’s great to see that Celtic are constantly working behind the scenes, looking forward to the next transfer window despite the window slamming shut just a few weeks ago.
