Everton + 2 Premier League rivals target Celtic star as Hoops set mega transfer fee that will smash records
Brighton are reportedly ‘leading the chase’ for Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley as Premier League interest intensifies going into the summer.
O’Riley continues to be linked with a move away from Parkhead after what has been an outstanding campaign for Celtic. The 23-year-old’s season-best tally of 18 goals and 13 assists played a major role in Brendan Rodgers’ side claiming the Scottish Premiership title after opening up an eight-point gap on Rangers.
That form has inevitably seen interest in the midfielder intensify and Atletico Madrid remain keen on a move, having seen a £20million bid knocked back in January. But the Scottish Sun reports it is a trio of Premier League teams who now look most likely to push forward with a deal.
