Report: Ange Postecogou could be set to raid club in cut-price deal for midfielder
According to The Daily Record, Ange Postecoglou could be set to raid his former club Celtic for midfield starlet Daniel Kelly this summer.
Kelly broke into Celtic’s first-team during the second half of the 2023-24 season, making six appearances for the side and netting his first senior goal on his debut in a 7-1 win over Dundee at Celtic Park in February.
Tottenham have a focus on youth talent since Ange’s arrival
The Daily Record reveals that despite the 18-year-old having never played for the Hoops under Ange Postecoglou, he did train with the senior squad under the Australian, who now wants to reunite with the youngster at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It is alleged that Spurs have been tracking the midfielder’s progress this season and are now eyeing a potential deal as the youngster is down to the final six months of his contract.
Kelly is also thought to be attracting interest from across the continent with Bologna, Bayer Leverkusen and Como all thought to be monitoring the player.
The report states that the teenager is currently in talks with Celtic over a new contract and his preference is to remain at Parkhead.
Tottenham are keen on Celtic’s Daniel Kelly
However, it is explained that the midfielder could earn about four times more than what the Scottish club are willing to offer him if he decides to leave this summer.
With Kelly’s contract now running down, the publication adds that he is now free to speak to foreign clubs and can be signed for a compensation fee of just £490,000.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham have been focussing on bolstering their academy set-up with top young talent over the last 12 months.
It would not come as a surprise if they seize the opportunity to bring Kelly to Hotspur Way since there is clearly a focus on promoting young talent to the Tottenham first-team squad since Postecoglou arrived in N17.
