Celtic have reportedly held talks with Middlesbrough’s Ajay Matthews as the Scottish Champions look to snap up the English prospect. Matthews would be available for a cross-border fee but Celtic face competition from Premier League sides, including Boro’s North East Rivals Newcastle.
The youngster would be competing with Joey Dawson as a contender for the first team and if he can replicate the form for Boro’s U18s – with 16 goals in 17 starts – then he might be onto something. The player would almost certainly be a development player that would join the B Team at the club; however, he is of a decent pedigree having worked his way up at Middlesbrough.
Celtic are looking to bring Adam Idah back to the club on a permanent deal. The new Norwich City manager wants to look at the Irishman before deciding whether to sanction a move. It appears that Oh is on the way out .
