Celtic FC News: Celtic are plotting a move for Bolton Wanderers teenager Luca Connell. (h/t The Scottish Sun)
The Irish prospect is currently making huge waves as a swarm of English clubs as well as Old Firm rivals Rangers are battling for his signature.
Being just 19, Connell broke into the main team of the trotters this season with 10 appearances. The fans were able to savour a glimpse of his talent.
And his breakout campaign helped him earn a call up for Republic of Ireland’s U-19 side.
A defensive midfielder by tradition, Connell is also adept at playing as a full back and as a wide midfielder.
Connell, a worthy successor of Scott Brown?
And it is really absurd to measure the achievements and greatness of the Hoops captain Scott Brown as he still continues to inspire his side despite being 34.
However, with the clock is ticking down for the Scottish veteran, the Celts are required to find his successor, who can commit to the club’s long-term future.
Connell possesses the talent and attributes to be at the heart of the Hoops midfield yet a place in the starting eleven is not a guaranteed one as of now.

Neil Lennon still can make use of the youngster by giving him enough chances to offload the pressure off Brown. And there are possibilities he could end up in the reserves set up as well should he agrees to move to Celtic Park.
