MATT O’RILEY arrived at Celtic for just £1.5 million in January and is proving the fee to be a bargain every game he plays.
He’s a top midfielder who’s a definite starter in Ange Postecoglou’s side. Holding onto the Denmark under-21 international could prove to be a tricky challenge, with some of Europe’s finest tracking the player.
ESPN reports that Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are keeping tabs on the player. Newcastle and Leicester could make a move for the player this summer.
It’s stated that a big of about £20 million could tempt Celtic to sell the player this summer.
It’s hard to believe O’Riley would be tempted with a move away from Celtic at the moment, especially only arriving at the club this year. He signed a long-term contract with Postecoglou’s side and has a big year ahead of him.
With Champions League football to be played before the World Cup, O’Riley will be hoping to impress so that he can be in with a shout for call up to the senior side. Age is on his side, and he doesn’t need to make a big move just now; he’s got many years of football ahead of him.
