CELTIC are keeping tabs on Nice winger Deji Sotona as the Glasgow club weigh up a move for the pacy wide player - but could face stiff competition from Tottenham and Chelsea.

Sotona, 19, came through the youth system at Manchester United - where he was regarded as one of the fastest players in the team - before turning down a contract at Old Trafford last year.

The Irish youngster then joined Nice in September 2020 but the Telegraph are reporting that Sotona is set to return to the UK, having not made a first-team appearance in France. 

Celtic are said to be monitoring the situation, as are London pair Tottenham and Chelsea.

The latter reportedly made an ultimately unsuccessful approach for Sotona this summer but are still believed to be keeping tabs on the winger.
