Celtic, have reportedly set their sights on a rising talent from across the pond. Fifteen-year-old Nigerian striker, Mezi Ikemba.
According to Blueprint.ng Ikemba caught the eye of Celtic’s scouting network with his top performances in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) for under-15s. Born in 2009, Ikemba has become a standout player in San Antonio.
Despite his young age, Ikemba’s ability on the field suggests a bright future ahead. Recognising his potential, Celtic have reportedly extended an invitation to the young striker for trials. This opportunity presents a chance for Ikemba to showcase his talents on a bigger stage and take a significant step forward in his promising career.
The invitation for Ikemba to trial underscores Celtic’s commitment to nurturing young talent. As they embark on building a new training ground at Barrowfield, the club is keen on discovering and developing raw talent. Ikemba’s trial with The Hoops could be one of many young players to come through the doors of the club in the next year.
