Brentford among clubs interested in Celtic's Super Eagles-eligible defender

Premier League club Brentford are interested in signing Glasgow Celtic's Super Eagles-eligible central defender Bosun Lawal but face competition from two Italian clubs. 

The Daily Mail UK has reported that The Bees are keeping tabs on the versatile Republic of Ireland underage international and he's also on the radar of Pisa and Verona. 

Lawal has been at Celtic since the summer of 2021, joining them after rejecting a professional contract at Watford, where he was named Academy Player of the Year for 2020-2021.

The 19-year-old has been a key player for Celtic B team this season, scoring five goals in the Lowland League and Challenge Cup despite being a defensive-minded player. 

The talented youngster was invited to train with Celtic's first team during their pre-season preparations and was named in the traveling squad to Australia for the Sydney Super Cup, featuring off the bench against Sydney. 

His first squad involvement in a competitive game for the senior side was against Aberdeen in a Premiership match last weekend but he was a non-playing substitute 

Last year, Brentford signed two exciting teenagers of Nigerian descent Daniel Oyegoke and Val Adedokun from Arsenal and Dundalk respectively, and snapped up Michael Olakigbe from Fulham this summer.
