Celtic have been named amongst several sides who are ‘keeping tabs’ on young left-back Matthew Sorinola, in a report from Wales Online.

The 21-year old currently plays his football in the Belgian top-flight with Union SG, having joined them in 2021 from MK Dons.

Despite still having two years left on his contract in Belgium, clubs in the UK are already eyeing up a move to bring the English youngster back to the country.

According to a report from Wales Online, recently relegated English Premiership side Norwich City have joined Swansea City in targeting the full-back this summer.

The report also mentions that Celtic are still keeping tabs on the youngster, having first been linked to Sorinola over a year ago.

Having rejected a new contract with MK Dons last year, Sorinola was reportedly being chased by several English clubs, including Chelsea and Leeds United.

However, the full-back chose to move abroad instead rather than join the under-23s set-up within another English team.

The defender clearly has an intelligent head on his shoulders, with his development as a young player being more important than going to sides who will pay more money in England.

Sorinola played 16 times in his first season in Belgium. But, he could be set for a quick return to the UK with clubs watching closely.

Could Matthew Sorinola be a left-back option Postecoglou turns to?

It has been made clear during the early stages of this transfer window that Ange Postecoglou is looking for another left-back option.

So far, the Hoops have been linked with several players, including Hammarby full-back Mohanad Jeahze.

However, that deal appears to have gone quiet, and other sides are also watching the Iraqi internationalist.

So, Sorinola could be an option which Postecoglou turns to in the event that he doesn’t get one of his first-choice targets.

The former MK Dons man is clearly someone the club has watched closely going back 12 months, and if he is open to a move, it seems like there could be a chance of it happening this time.
