Scottish Champions Glasgow Celtic Interested In Signing Liverpool's 2013 U17 World Cup Winner
Published: August 27, 2020
Scottish Premiership champions Glasgow Celtic are weighing up a move for 2013 U17 World Cup winner Taiwo Awoniyi - according to reports in the British press.
The Daily Star says Celtic have targeted Liverpool-owned striker Awoniyi, with the future of Odsonne Edouard up in the air.
Prolific France U21 international Edouard appears destined for the English Premier League, with Arsenal, Leicester City, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace mentioned as possible destinations should he quit the Hoops.
Awoniyi has no future with Liverpool because he has yet to overcome the work permit obstacle ever since he joined the club five years ago, leading to loan spells at five different European teams.
The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Bundesliga outfit Mainz and was previously farmed out on loan to FSV Frankfurt, NEC, KAA Gent and Royal Excel Mouscron.
It has been suggested that Awoniyi would be allowed to depart Liverpool permanently for a fee of nine million pounds.
