Young Celtic youth star, Mitchell Frame is reportedly being targeted by mega-rich English Premier League side, Newcastle United.
According to the Daily Record, The Magpies have identified the young full-back as a possible addition to their development squad.
According to the report, Crystal Palace and Brighton are also interested in the youngster after he impressed at the u17 European Championships with Scotland.
Scotland finished bottom of their group with no wins from three after defeats from France, Portugal and Germany. But it seems that the poor results from the national side haven’t put off potential suitors for Frame’s signature.
This isn’t the first time the Scotland u17 star has been the subject of transfer speculation. Back in January of last year, 67 Hail Hail told how Frame was offered a contract by the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves and Crystal Palace. The defender decided to stay and signed a new contract that ties him to Celtic until July 2025.
The youngster made the headlines just over four weeks ago when he scored in the Youth Cup Final against Rangers in a thrilling 11-goal match where the young hoops had to come from behind twice to win the trophy 6-5.
The match was watched by Celtic boss, Ange Postecoglou who will have been impressed with the young full-backs display at Hampden.

Hopefully, the reported interest comes to nothing. Celtic can ill afford to continue to lose another of their top prospects after watching the likes of Vincent Angellini, Ben Doak and Josh Adam over the years.
