French Side Make Celtic Defender Enquiry

According to reports, Celtic Defender Stephen Welsh is the subject to interest from French side Toulouse.

However, the Scottish Champions don’t want to sell their defender. Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph claims the French side is keen on the Hoops academy player and this is the second but of interest from a side in Europe.

It’s not clear where Stephen is in the pecking order at the moment after Moritz Jenz coming in on loan. We know Ange Postecoglou prefers the centre-back to former Toulouse man Christopher Jullien.

But will Stephen’s chances in the side diminish if Jenz hits the ground running and Carl Starfelt returns from injury.

You could envision a scenario where the Celtic hierarchy would entertain a certain level of bid for Stephen given he isn’t an automatic first team pick.

The Scottish youngster is likely to start the Aberdeen game next Sunday on flag day. Stephen will have the desire this season to show he can be more than a squad player.
