Promising young Celtic prospect Zion Pullen has been in the headlines due to his call up to the Spanish youth squad, creating a tug of war with Scotland for his long term allegiances…
The highly promising youngster who only turned 15 in February, is eligible to play for Spain due to being born in Tudela in the North of the country, and is also eligible to play for Nigeria through his parents.
Zion who has already been capped by Scotland at under 15 level, and scored earlier this year in a clash against Italy, has been involved in an incredible 93 goals for the Celtic under 15 and 17 teams this season alone.
News of his call up has highlighted the youngster to a lot who weren’t aware of him, myself included! And unsurprisingly it’s been suggested that a few sides on the continent are taking notice of his exploits.

Young Celtic stars are often targeted by clubs in England or Europe
That has led to concern amongst the Celtic supporters, who are worried that Zion could follow many of the highly regarded Celtic prospects and have his head turned by clubs down south or on the continent, ones who can afford to pay big salaries, even for youth players.
Ben Doak, Islam Feruz and Karamoko Dembele all left Celtic
Those worries are not without merit, as it’s happened several times in the past, most recently with the likes of Ben Doak, and in the past high profile youngsters such as Islam Feruz and Karamoko Dembele among others who have been tempted away by so called bigger clubs.
The overwhelming majority of these youngsters tempted by the fame and riches on offer elsewhere have failed to make it at the very top level, but that’s still not a deterrent as unfortunately money talks, that’s just the way of the world.
Just let the young Bhoy play his football
That’s why Celtic supporters will be wary of the attention that’s being lavished on young Zion. Just let the young Bhoy play his football.
