Napoli lodge transfer bid for Brighton’s Matt O’Riley

Napoli have submitted a £25.6m bid for Matt O’Riley.

That’s per information from Sky Sports, who claim that Brighton still see the Celtic hero as part of their plans for next season and beyond.

However, they will entertain offers and consider suitable bids.

Celtic allegedly will receive 10% of the transfer fee if a profit is made by Brighton, which could guarantee £2.5m for the Hoops.

Callum Osmand spotted at Lennoxtown

According to The Herald, Fulham striker Callum Osmand was seen at Lennoxtown ahead of his imminent move to Celtic.

The Hoops will only need to pay the Premier League team a development fee given Osmand’s contract expires this month.

Isaac English signs for Celtic

Celtic have completed the signing of young Greenock Morton defender Isaac English.

The Bhoys announced the deal yesterday, with a statement on the official Celtic website reading: “Celtic Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Isaac English from Greenock Morton on a three-year deal.

“The highly rated 17-year old defender was a pivotal player as Morton’s under-18 side won the Club Academy Scotland Performance League last season.

“He also helped the under-18’s reach the final of the Club Academy Scotland cup, with his impressive performances eventually earning him a call up to the Cappielow side’s first team.

“English will join up with Celtic FC B team, where he will work and progress under manager and former Celtic captain, Stephen McManus.”
