Jordan Larsson, son of legendary Parkhead striker Henrik Larsson is attracting major interest among clubs in Europe.
RecordSport have reported the 23-year-old could be available this summer and is being scouted by a number of teams with Dortmund and West Ham eyeing a summer move for the player.
I’ve never been a proponent of bringing young Jordan in because of the name he would need to live up to.
Everything the striker did as a Celtic player would be compared to his dad which wouldn’t be fair.
However, if it isn’t because of who Jordan’s dad is and he actually was looked at as a viable option on merit, it could change my mind.
The young striker has scored 12 goals in 23 league starts for Spartak Moscow this term and has a growing reputation in the game.
It’s also safe to say Jordan is a Celtic fan and has a love of the club growing up watching his dad in the hoops.
Speaking back in December Jordan told RecordSport:
“For me, Celtic will always have a special place in my heart.
“Not that I’ve played there in that sense, but it was the first place where I saw football as a young kid going with my mother to see games when my father was playing.
“It could be something to look at further down the line.
“That’s where I have the biggest memories in my head.
“‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ you have all the scarves before the games and everything so of course it will always have a special place in my heart.
“But at the same time since my father is who he is at the club I think for me personally if I would ever have the chance to play there then I would like to establish myself even more, make my own name before I would play there if that chance would ever come up but of course it’s tempting.
“Not that they are interested in that sense but If I think about it to be able to play there would be a dream in that sense.
“For me my whole life has been about proving I’m a good player, that I’m my own person you know.”
It could be something to look at further down the line for sure and the bhoy certainly has a good head on his shoulders.
