Celtic transfer news: Scottish giants join the race to sign Charlton whizz kid Ezri Konsa
Glasgow giants to take on a host of big Premier League clubs to land highly-rated Charlton teenager as Brendan Rodgers continues to plunder Football league for young talent
CELTIC have joined the race to land Charlton whizz kid Ezri Konsa.
The Scottish giants are ready to go against a posse of Premier League clubs who are monitoring the latest kid to come off the Addicks' production line.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are all keen on the 19-year-old who is receiving rave reviews for his performances in League One this season.
Konsa, who can play in midfield or at centre-back, is rated just as highly in South East London as former defender Joe Gomez, who moved to Liverpool in 2015 for £3.5million.
Despite his contract running until 2019, the teenagers future could be up in the air with the sacking of Charlton boss Russell Slade this week.
Brendan Rodgers signed Fulham striker Moussa Dembele for £500,000 in the summer, the former Liverpool boss will hope he can convince Konsa a move north of the border playing first team football is the ideal career move.
The teenager joined the Addicks aged 12 and has rapidly risen through the ranks to make his first team debut in the EFL Cup last August against Cheltenham Town.
