Rising Celtic talent Daniel Cummings has caught the attention of Premier League clubs West Ham and Brighton, with both sides reportedly keen to secure the highly-rated 18-year-old.
The striker, who has been lighting up the Hoops’ B-team, is attracting interest as he nears the end of his current contract at Celtic.
Cummings has been a standout performer for Celtic’s B-team this season, showing his potential as a future first-team player. His inclusion on the bench for Celtic’s 4-1 win over Ross County recently, albeit amid an injury crisis, is a signal that he is on Brendan Rodgers’ radar. While he has yet to make his senior debut, his growing profile has not gone unnoticed.

Both West Ham and Brighton are reportedly looking to capitalise on Cummings’ contract situation, with his current deal set to expire in the summer. If he were to leave at the end of the season, Celtic would only be entitled to a training compensation fee.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the interest from the Premier League duo, stating that they are closely monitoring the teenager’s situation. Brighton, in particular, are renowned for snapping up young talent and developing them into first-team stars.
Despite the mounting interest, Celtic are determined to keep hold of their young star. The club is reportedly “pushing” to tie Cummings down to a new deal, which would secure his future at Parkhead and potentially open the door to more first-team opportunities under Rodgers.
At just 18 years old, Daniel Cummings is one of the brightest young talents emerging from Celtic’s academy. His ability to find the net consistently at B-team level has drawn comparisons to previous academy graduates who have gone on to make an impact in the first team.
The next few weeks could be pivotal in determining Cummings’ future. Celtic will be hoping to convince him to sign a new deal and commit his future to the club, but the allure of the Premier League and the opportunities presented by clubs like Brighton and West Ham could prove tempting.
