Daniel Kelly close to new Celtic contract while talks press on with 2 more stars

Brendan Rodgers is keen to tie Kelly down and hopes he won’t be the last to commit to a new contract in the coming weeks.

Celtic are closing in on a new deal for youngster Daniel Kelly.

 

The teenager is out of contract at the end of the season but the club have now tabled an extension. Celtic want to tie the teenager down long-term and are confident of agreeing a deal. The 18-year-old has managed to break through into Brendan Rodgers’ team in recent weeks and made an instant impact, claiming his first senior goal, in the recent Premiership rout of Dundee.

Kelly has been a regular in Celtic’s B and Under-18 sides and is highly rated. He has been linked with German outfits Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig and interest in England but his preference is to stay at Parkhead. Celtic are keen to get Kelly’s future sorted out, rather than running the risk of losing him for training compensation at the end of the season.

The Glasgow giants have lost the likes of Ben Doak, Aidan Borland and Roy Mahady to big English clubs in recent seasons and are keen to avoid another repeat. Celtic remain in talks with Liam Scales and Rocco Vata over new deals. Offers are on the table for both but neither player is any closer to an agreement at this stage.
