West Ham United leading race to sign two Celtic targets

Celtic have traditionally sought to sign top-rated Scottish youth players with the goal of developing them into first-team starters. However, in recent years, clubs from across Europe have increased their scouting of Scottish talent.

Currently, it appears that Celtic are interested in two Airdrieonians players. However, Premier League clubs appear to be ahead in the race to sign them.

According to West Ham Zone, as published by The Sun on Sunday’s print edition [17 November, page 59], Airdrieonians twins Cole and Dylan Williams are coveted by West Ham United, Celtic, and Southampton. The English duo leads the search for the brothers.

Airdrieonians are reported to want to keep the brothers, but it remains to be seen what the future holds for them. Both are midfielders, and given the number of teams interested in signing them, there is obviously a lot of talent there.

Celtic may have difficulty persuading players to join them if English clubs come calling. And it’s not just about the money or the appeal of playing in the Premier League.

Celtic’s recent record of developing young players and promoting them to the first squad is poor. Kieran Tierney was the most recent player to successfully make the transition to the starting lineup. It has been more than five years since he left for Arsenal. As a result, it is understandable that young people may be hesitant to relocate to Parkhead at this time.
