Celtic are expected to make a move for Motherwell sensation Lennon Miller in January, according to a report from MailSport.
The central midfielder has been a standout for the Steelmen this season, even captaining them in their last two games against Rangers and Ross County, respectively.
At just 18 years of age, Miller has already amassed 55 senior appearances for Motherwell during which he has scored five goals and assisted six from the middle of the park.
He continually impresses and caught the eye of several Celtic fans when he rattled the woodwork twice in quick succession in the infancy of the Hoops’ 3-0 win at Fir Park a few weeks ago. Miller was his side’s brightest spark that day.
Per MailSport, the Hoops are ‘admirers’ of the teenager. Although they have yet to make an approach for Miller, they are expected to do so in January.
Any move won’t come cheap, though. Indeed, Motherwell won’t entertain offers of less than £4m for their star man as they look to eclipse the £3m they got from Celtic for David Turnbull in 2020.
Fans would likely be behind a move for Miller in January, but the wise decision would likely be for Celtic to send the youngster back to Fir Park until the end of the season to continue his development.
It remains to be seen if the club will even make a concrete move, though, as speculation begins ahead of the winter transfer window.
