Chelsea face competition from Celtic, Tottenham, Brentford, Everton to sign ex-Man Utd starlet Sotona

Published: December 22, 2021

Chelsea are facing competition from other Premier League clubs as well as Glasgow Celtic in their bid to sign former Manchester United starlet Deji Sotona.

The Secret Scout has informed via Instagram that the Irish-Nigerian winger looks like he will be heading back to the United Kingdom and added that Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford and Everton are among his Premier League suitors, while Celtic are also monitoring his situation.

Football Insider suggested on Tuesday that the Blues were the best-placed club to sign the 19-year-old Sotona after failing to land him in the summer.

Sotona wants to move on to pastures new after failing to break into the first team of OGC Nice largely due to the departure of Patrick Vieira who convinced him to join the club in September 2020.

The 19-year-old was touted as the fastest player during his time at Manchester United, clocking a staggering maximum speed of 22.9mph.

He was Republic of Ireland's national Under 14 sprint champion at the age of 12.

Sotona has played non-binding games for his country of birth Republic of Ireland.
